In this episode of Brainstorming with Clare de Lore, we find out more about Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), what causes it, and importantly how it could be prevented.
Clare finds about the exciting research being done by Dr Helen Murray at Auckland University's Centre for Brain Research into CTE.
Plus we hear from Geoff Cooper - whose father suffered from the condition. He explains what it's like to see someone live with the condition - and why he's telling this deeply personal story.
Brainstorming with Clare de Lore has new episodes every second Wednesday on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts - powered by Newstalk ZB.
