In simple terms, the neurons in brain tissue have been damaged or compromised. This means that some or many functions of the brain require more effort -- sometimes with little success -- to do tasks. This can involve a lifetime of re-learning; variables for success are so numerous as to require extensive diagnosis and eventual treatment. A book helpful to laypersons is "Through This Window: Views on Traumatic Brain Injury", author P. I. Felton of Belfast, Maine.

How does trauma affect your brain?
Trauma can impact brain function, leading to various changes in brain regions responsible for processing emotions and stress. It can disrupt neural pathways, alter brain chemistry, and impair cognitive function. This can result in symptoms such as heightened anxiety, memory problems, and difficulty regulating emotions.
What are some symptoms of brain trauma injury?
Symptoms of brain trauma injury can include confusion, headaches, nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, memory problems, changes in mood or behavior, difficulty concentrating, and loss of consciousness. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect a brain injury.
Why trauma to the base of the brain is often much more dangerous than trauma to the frontal lobes?
the frontal lobes mostly control motor skills and personality, which are less important for survival than the other parts of the brain. in the back specifically there is the reticular activating system which processes and interprets stimuli. trauma to the R.A.S. can cause it to misinterpret the information it gets, essentially rendering the entire brain useless.
Can trauma cause an infarct in the brain?
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.
Which allowed the structure and function of his brain cells to change to adjust to the trauma?
Neuroplasticity is the term that describes the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. This process allows the brain cells to change their structure and function in response to experiences such as trauma, enabling the brain to adapt and recover.

It depends on the brain trauma, if it is deep and penetrating then chances are slim, could be thirty minutes to four hours, to several weeks; if it is blunt it could be fifty-fifty, it depends on several factors. No matter how much medicine tries to learn and do to help one recover from brain trauma there is no golden or set rule for this kind of phenomenen, just like each person has a different personality, each persons brain responds differently to pressure and injury. :-D

What is epilipsey?
Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain that causes a person to go into seizures repeatedly over that persons lifetime. It is when trauma or some kind of brain damage effects the brain tissue and causes the brain to become excitable and jumpy. This causes signals that are not normal which makes that person go into convulsions, or seizures. If a person has only one seizure, it is not epilepsy.
