Brain injury can impair short-term memory by damaging the structures involved in storing and processing new information. This can cause difficulties in remembering recent events, new learning, and focusing on tasks. The severity of the memory impairment depends on the location and extent of the brain injury.
Traumatic brain injury is the damaging of the brain which impairs a body's certain function. The brain will experience TBI if there is an injury or impact to the head which directly affects the brain cells. The brain is capable of repairing itself, however it is in varying ways and degrees depending on the person and the injury's severity.
Yes. Infarction is a state of tissue death due to no blood supply to that area. A trauma to any area of the body can cause the obstruction of blood flow to that area, hence causing an infarction. Though the brain is heavily protected, brain infarction can occur.
Getting hit on the head can cause various degrees of brain injury, which can affect cognitive function, memory, and other mental abilities. However, it doesn't necessarily make someone "dumb." The impact would depend on the severity of the injury and the specific areas of the brain affected.
Adolescents can show impairment in cognitive functions shortly after beginning to use alcohol, with effects typically becoming noticeable after just one to two drinks. This impairment can impact things like decision-making, memory, and concentration, and may worsen with continued use. Regular alcohol use during adolescence may also have long-term effects on brain development and cognitive abilities.
Hydrocephalus can cause learning impairment by putting pressure on the brain.

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.

We don't know exactly what the cause of arthritisis, however it is unlikely that a brain injury would bring it on.
Acquired brain injury (ABI) is characterised as a brain injury which has occurred after birth, and is not the cause of any genetic or congenital disorder. A "mild" ABI could be considered as a brain injury which does not have a profound impact on the brain functioning or the sufferers behaviour, or could be considered as temporary.
T 12
One cause of memory impairment related to aging is the natural decline in brain function and the loss of brain cells over time. This can affect the areas of the brain responsible for storing and retrieving memories.

Brain injury is prevalent in Canada with thousands of Canadians sustaining brain injury annually. Medical costs for a patient with traumatic brain injury (TBI) exceed 400, 000 USD. TBI is a leading cause of disability and memory loss.
