The aftermath of boxing
Psychological Medicine · 1973 · Vol. 3(3) · pp. 270–303
Abstract
SYNOPSIS The brains of 15 retired boxers have been studied and the lives of the men concerned have been investigated in retrospect. A characteristic pattern of cerebral change has been identified which appears not only to be a result of the boxing but also to underlie many features of the punch-drunk syndrome.
