Neurons and their processes, which includes an axon, will of course be damaged if a blow to the head is severe enough.

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 is the primary reason for seizures occurring with head injuries?
Head injuries can cause seizures due to the disruption or damage to the brain's normal electrical activity. The primary reason for seizures occurring with head injuries is the disturbance in the balance of chemicals and electrical signals in the brain, resulting in abnormal electrical discharges that trigger seizures. Additionally, bleeding or swelling in the brain, as well as scar tissue formation, can also contribute to the development of seizures after a head injury.
