In addition, two sentences should be modified as follows:
Page 60: “Although spreading of tau pathology is generally thought to occur in association with neuronal synapses, glial to glial spread, periventricular and diffuse extracellular tau migration patterns.” Should read “Although spreading of tau pathology is generally thought to occur in association with neuronal synapses, glial to glial spread, periventricular and diffuse extracellular tau migration patterns patterns involving the cerebrospinal fluid might represent additional pathways by which lesion spreading could occur in CTE.”
Page 62: “For instance, by studying a large number of retired National Football League athletes prospectively and conducting neuropathological analyses at death, a control group matched on age, education, athletic history, medical comorbidities and cause of death can be used to examine differences between individuals with and without clinical and neuropathological evidence of” should read “For instance, by studying a large number of retired National Football League athletes prospectively and conducting neuropathological analyses at death, a control group matched on age, education, athletic history, medical comorbidities and cause of death can be used to examine differences between individuals with and without clinical and neuropathological evidence of CTE.”
