Definition of Traumatic Brain Injuries

Answer:

Traumatic brain injuries occur when a sudden start/stop, causes the brain, which floats in fluid, to smack up against the inside of your skull, which is not smooth. If there’s twisting, there is something called shearing that occurs, all of which damages the brain. It bruises the brain, makes the brain bleed.

Sometimes, this results in very subtle changes; sometimes, you’ll see dramatic changes. Subtle changes need to be identified by an experienced doc and can include a change in behavior, change in memories, and sometimes loss of consciousness.
