How Concussion Affects the Brain

- MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: A concussion is a brain injury resulting from a violent head impact or rapid head acceleration deceleration. The brain is a soft and pliable organ, and requires physical protection from the environment. The walls of the cranial cavity provide a hard external shield from outside impacts. Inside the cranium, the brain floats in and is surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid provides a protective cushion as everyday movements of the head gently jostle the brain. A violent impact or rapid acceleration deceleration of the head can cause the brain to rotate and strike the inside of the skull. This injury compresses the brain and sends shock waves rippling away from the point of impact. The impact force stretches or tears neuronal axons, resulting in a mild form of the traumatic brain injury called diffuse axonal shearing. This injury compromises normal brain function because it interrupts communication between neurons. Physical symptoms of concussion include headache, nausea, poor muscle coordination, dizziness, light sensitivity and blurred vision, ringing in the ears, and loss of consciousness. Cognitive and emotional symptoms include disorientation, confusion, amnesia, inability to focus and concentrate, irritability, and depression. Treatment for concussion depends on the severity and duration of symptoms. Mild concussions require plenty of rest, increased fluids, and close monitoring of symptoms for 24 to 48 hours. Although mild pain medication, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be prescribed, alcohol and illegal drugs should be avoided. Severe concussions require immediate professional medical evaluation. In many cases, steroids are used to decrease swelling and inflammation in the brain. A CT scan or MRI of the brain may be needed to rule out gross internal damage or hemorrhages.

Such an important organ and yet people go crazy and hit each other into head. I wouldn't say anything if neural network could regenerate. Yet people don't mind to hit someone and cause permanent brain damage without thinking of consequences.
Some ppl really do but I don't mind because I don't do such things xD
can happens in sports all the time... , There are vast redundancy and neuroplasticity in brain which helps 100% recovery from concussion many times.. unless ur taking 10,000 blows to head . 100 B ...is a huge no.
The ringing in the ears part was not good for headphone users.
No it's wasn't
Damaged ears already
Best Medical channel I ever visit
I think your videos are god send because it helps me alot in my Field (Oncology).
excellent video
Pls make a video on TBI and seizure type injuries and how one can help a person suffering from this.
This will create awareness in ppl how to act in such action. Like a person gives CPR when a person is having difficulty breathing. So what one can do in such injuries above mentioned.
BTW love ur videos as always!!! :D
They already made one on TBI
Good
EAR SPLITTING NOISE WARNING 1:55 skip ahead 5 seconds to avoid.
That was very disappointing
OW , THANKS FOR THE WARNING DUDE THIS NEEDS TO BE TOP COMMENT
DONT STOP MAKING VIDEOS
Can you talk about migraines?
best concussion explained🤩. The best detailed explanation of concussion symptoms and how does it feel like best visual imagination 👌👌. Well I have a nagging query that consumes my mind "During a concussion, axonal shearing occurs. Are these shears permanent, or do the axons rejoin and heal? 1:30 PLEASE REPLY !!
Can you please also explain Myopia
Pretty much our brain jiggling back and forth!!
Hi , Im'ma from (MIT) university freshmen. I've encountered a recent incident that has left me in need some advice . I wanted to share that I recently experienced a concussion two days ago, and unfortunately, it has occurred again in the same right side. I'm wondering, would a sudden sideways motorbike collision with a cycle at a speed of 25km/hr., causing a forceful movement of my torso to lurch and my head in relative (lateral cervical flexion) in the same area of the first concussion ,can it potentially cause some DAI and possibly axotomy to the previously concussed neurons ? very worried since i am difficulty speaking like finding right words and articulating fluently and even slight difficulty understanding words and its been 1 month no recovery? i initially have no symptoms after the incidence like nausea or dizziness , does it cause any permanent deficits or it is just temporary?
The worst injury I've ever experienced. 😔
You ok tho ryt?😮
@@hibakabiri5997 After 1 year and a month of rehabilitation I'm better 🤍 thank you so much for asking 🥹
👍
