RE: Do Woodpeckers Get Brain Damage like NFL Players? Contributed by @donkeypong

I read that article earlier today, other differences in how their immune system interacts with tau and protein tangles in the brain, their inflammation response to damage, and how long they live might all be other factors to help account for the differences. Also worth noting is that most of the samples were from pickled museum brains, lol. Interesting study though.
