The brain is sectioned with a tool resembling a bread knife into coronal slices about a third of an inch thick. “Each cut reveals a new piece of the puzzle,” Fenno wrote. “Has the frontal lobe shrunk? Are the ventricles enlarged? Alvarez places each one on a black sheet and photographs it.” Some of the tissue is eventually placed on glass slides, which allows researchers to examine such areas as the olfactory bulb, where dark tangles of tau protein — the toxic hallmark of CTE — are often visible; the substantia nigra, which helps control muscle movement; and the superior frontal cortex, an important area for executive function and emotions.Advertisement
