{{Main|Chronic traumatic encephalopathy}}
*Due to head trauma - usu. repeated.
**Seen in ''American football'' and ''boxing''.
***The in the context of boxing it is known as ''dementia pugilistica''; ''pugil'' is ''boxer'' in Latin.<ref>URL: [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pugilism http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pugilism]. Accessed on: 21 November 2011.</ref>

*Wall-to-wall neurofibrillary tangles.
**Common in olfactory bulb, mammillary bodies, hippocampus.
**Usually perivascular.
**Often superficial (unlike [[Alzheimer disease]]) and at the deep aspect of sulci.
