There are two terms: necrosis and apoptosis. The latter is a special case as it is energy-dependent. It is also referred to as 'programmed cell death'; and somtimes 'cell suicide'.

Where does red neurons occur in brain injury?
It can occur anywhere in the brain. Where ever there is ischemic injury, necrosis and inflammation occur which cause death of neurons = "red neurons". It is usually seen within 12-48 hours after an ischemic event ie. thrombosis or embolism.
When your hit in the head do you damage the neurons in your brain or the axons?
When you are hit in the head, both neurons and axons can sustain damage. Neurons are the specialized cells responsible for transmitting electrical signals in the brain, while axons are long, slender projections that extend from neurons and transmit those signals to other neurons or tissues. Impact to the head can cause direct damage to neurons and axons, leading to functional impairment or cell death.

What word is used to describe a gap between two neurones?
The term used to describe the gap between two neurons is synapse, or synaptic junction.
Why are motor neurons also known as efferent neurons?
efferent neurons are just another name for motor neurons, indicating that they carry impulses from the brain (CNS) to the target cell. Similarly, the term 'afferent''can be used interchangeably with sensory as it describes the action of a neuron carrying impulses from the stimulis (which could either be internal or external) to the CNS.
