In this episode of Uni Bites, we break down concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in a student-friendly, science-based conversation. From what happens in the brain after a hit to the head, to the short- and long-term symptoms, recovery timelines, and emerging research, we cover it all.

We also explore concussion subtypes, ongoing symptoms, and how modern treatment and active recovery strategies help protect brain health. Plus, we unpack what CTE is, who it affects, and why research on this degenerative brain disease matters.

Whether you’re an athlete, student, or just curious about brain science, this episode gives you the tools and knowledge to understand concussions and take them seriously.
