Diffused Axonal Injury

The brain is the most delicate and if I may say so, the most beautifully intricate organ of the human body. Concussion derived from the Latin word, concuture i.e. to shake violently, is the most common type of traumatic brain injury. In this experiment, the simulation of the head subjected to impact acceleration was conducted to understand the mechanisms of diffused axonal injury. A brain injury can be divided into two types. First, the focal brain injury, for example the subdural hematoma and the epidural hematoma can be easily diagnosed using a CT or MRI. The second, diffused brain injury can be diagnosed on the basis of physiological responses. Watanabe et al in their simulated experiment "Head Impact Analysis related to mechanism of the DAI (Diffused Axonal Injury)", confirmed that the greater stress areas of the brain matched the fact that DAI often involve injury in the Corpus Callosum and brain stem. Moreover the brain dysfunctions due to an injury in higher stress areas correspond to residual disability after the DAI. We expect that the injury in brain stem and cerebrum is essential to the DIA.

Nice....A lot of information to be gained from this.
I didnt even know that there are so many types of brain Injury!!
But i now i do thanks to you!!

Hey I just love your research. Its something i have never heard of before. I think we should all do some more research on it.
