An illustration of a traumatic brain injury,during which neurons can become stretched,twisted or sheared as the brain shifts inside the skull. The initial impact,also known as the coup,produces a force that causes the brain to recoil and hit the opposite side of the skull,producing a contrecoup injury. These types of injuries are most commonly caused by falls,car accidents or during contact sports. Axonal injuries to a neuron are permanent,and will often lead to the death of the cell | |
