The human brain –
despite being encased snugly within its protective skull – is terrifyingly
vulnerable to traumatic injury. A severe blow to the head can set in train a
series of events that continue to play out for months, years and even decades
ahead. First, there is bleeding, clotting and bruising at the site of impact.
If the blow is forceful enough, the brain is thrust against the far side of the
skull, where bony ridges cause blood vessels to lacerate. Sliding of grey
matter over white matter can irreparably shear nerve fibers, causing damage
that has physical, cognitive and behavioral consequences. As response
mechanisms activate, the brain then swells, increasing intracranial pressure,
and closing down parts of the microcirculatory network, reducing the passage of
oxygen from blood vessels into the tissues, and causing further tissue injury.
