Whiplash primarily affects the soft tissues of the neck, but it can also impact the brain, particularly the areas involved in processing sensory information and coordinating movement. Specifically, the brainstem and upper cervical spine regions may be affected, leading to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and cognitive difficulties. Additionally, some studies suggest that whiplash can lead to microstructural changes in the white matter of the brain, potentially affecting communication between different brain regions. However, more research is needed to fully understand the extent and mechanisms of these changes.

This can lead to symptoms like breathlessness and compromised cardiac function. It is important to seek medical attention if experiencing these symptoms after a whiplash injury.
Describe possible damage to the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system due to whiplash?
The damage involves compression injures in which pressure, twisting or stretching is applied to nervous tissues. In severe cases, compression injuries can affect the brain resulting in hematomas.
Damage to what part of the brain causes murderers?
That's not known at present.
What is the difference between brain damage and brain injury?
The difference is that one can have a brain injury and not have brain damage. Essentially, brain damage is caused by injury or trauma to the brain. However, not every injury to the brain will cause brain damage.

How do some whiplash injuries cause death?
The dens of the axis may be driven into the medulla oblongata of the brain
What will happen if your cerebrum is damage why?
As with any injury it depends on the extent of the damage. Your cerebrum is a part of your brain so the consequences could be severe.
What would happen if you were missing part of your brain?
It depends on which part. The cerebellum, at the base of the brain, is essential - damage that and your body won't be able to function at all. However, you can damage the cerebral cortex and just lose part of your memory or forget how to talk or not be able to move part of your body. It's a fascinating subject - you should google "brain injury" and read more about it!
