Abstract

This article focuses on comparing neuropsychological functioning between individuals with chronic traumatic encephalopathy neuropathologic change (CTE-NC) and matched individuals without CTE-NC, all diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia. Using data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC), the study matched 22 participants with CTE-NC to 64 without, controlling for demographics and comorbid Alzheimer's and Lewy body pathology. Results showed that those with CTE-NC had slightly higher Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores at diagnosis, but no significant differences in attention, executive function, speed, memory, or language. The findings suggest limited neurocognitive differences associated with CTE-NC, highlighting the need for larger studies to clarify its distinct clinical features.
