Maguila had been battling pugilistic dementia for years
After the news of his death, an old report was released, revealing that the star had donated his brain for studies. In 2018, an article on the Globo Esporte website reported that Maguila and his family had agreed to make the donation to the University of São Paulo (USP).
The aim is to deepen scientific studies on dementia pugilistica, in which he was diagnosed, 11 years ago, with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), also known as “boxer syndrome”.
The condition is associated with repeated head trauma, such as career blows, which can cause damage to memory, cognition and behavior. In September this year a nodule was discovered in Maguila’s lung. He was in a nursing home.
I wait:
