High Risk Sports
Some contact sports, such as rugby, ice hockey, and American football, have an increased risk of head injury due to the physical nature of the competition. These lesions range from a direct blow to the head to a violent collision that can cause head trauma.
Brain Injury and Parkinson's Disease
Although the exact relationship between brain damage and the development of Parkinson's disease is not fully understood, there is evidence that damage to specific areas of the brain, such as the black nucleus, may contribute to the development of Parkinson's study. These areas participate in the regulation of movement and the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter altered in Parkinson's disease.
