CCL2 levels correlate with the years spent playing American football, the number of Iba1+ and CD68+ cells in cases with RHI. Levels of DLFC CCL2 were compared against a the number of years spent playing American football, b the density of Iba1+ microglia/macrophages, c and the density of CD68+ inflammatory cells found in the DLFC at the depth of the cortical sulcus. All cases had a history of playing American football. Each dot represents a single person. Significance and slope of the line was calculated using linear regression analysis. As CCL2 was found to have a non-normal distribution, a rank bank transformation technique was used to achieve the required normal distribution needed for linear regression analysis. The transformation resulted in normally distributed Z scores which are plotted on the y axis
