Dr. Robert Cantu, Professor of Neurosurgery, Urges Brain Autopsy Of Boston Marathon Bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev

Did Boxing Concussions Cause Changes In Tamerlan Tsarnaev?

Should slain Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev's brain be looked at specifically with an eye for chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, given his amateur boxing background? Two neuroscientists suggested yes -- but now a backlash has ensued. One of those neuroscientists, Dr. Robert Cantu of Boston University, joined HuffPost Live Thursday to explain why he's urging for Tsarnaev's autopsy to include a CTE check.
