	Brain damage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brain damage or brain injury is the destruction or degeneration of brain cells.
		Common causes of focal or localized brain damage are physical trauma (traumatic brain injury), stroke, aneurysm, or neurological illness.
		The extent and effect of brain injury is often assessed by the use of neurological examination, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological assessment.

		Damage from hypoxia is often seen in the hippocampus, an area of the brain necessary for laying down new memories.
		Edema - is a swelling of the brain.
		The brain is hollow; the interior cavities, called ventricles, contain cerebrospinal fluid circulating from the ventricles up over the surface of the brain where the cerebrospinal fluid is absorbed.

	Vaccines and Neurological Damage
		Brain damage is by far the most common adverse reaction associated with vaccinations, although their actual numbers are not often reported correctly.
		Brain damage from vaccines is epidemic and yet, doctors are slow to diagnose neurological disorders (in US) when vaccinations are at stake but we see many citations linking changes (for the worse) after vaccinations are given.
		Vaccinations cause the brain to swell and that is "encephalitis", regardless of diagnosis.

		Brain damage caused by head injury is classified by whether distribution is focal or diffuse.
		Alternatively, brain damage may be classified in terms of its distribution in relation to the damage force.
		In contrast, because the brain has so little rigidity in its position in the cranium, rotation produces strain and distortion of its moorings; for example, a soccer player can strike a fast-moving ball with his or her head by taking care to avoid rotation of the head on impact.

		The brain's capillary system (blood brain barrier), on the other hand, are composed of tightly packed cells or "junctions" which reduce their permeability and eliminates the bulk flow of solutes through them.
		Parkinson's Disease, itself, is a complex chronic brain disorder resulting primarily from progressive death of a specific group of nerve cells in a layer of a region of the substantia nigra (basal ganglia) in the midbrain.
		This is due to an incompetent blood brain barrier and neuronal (brain) damage produced by excitotoxins circulating the fetal brain areas.

	NIDA NOTES - "Ecstasy" Damages the Brain and Impairs Memory in Humans
		Using advanced brain imaging techniques, the study found that MDMA harms neurons that release serotonin, a brain chemical thought to play an important role in regulating memory and other functions.
		Examinations of brain tissue from the animals provided further confirmation that the decrease in serotonin transporters seen in the PET images corresponded to actual loss of serotonin nerve endings containing transporters in the baboons' brains.
		Research on the functional consequences of MDMA-induced damage of serotonin-producing neurons in humans is at an early stage, and the scientists who conducted the studies cannot say definitively that the harm to brain serotonin neurons shown in the imaging study accounts for the memory impairments found among chronic users of the drug.

		By studying images of damaged brains through CAT or MRI scans, doctors and researchers can determine exactly which portions of the brain have been damaged and then test to see which skills are lost and which retained.
		Studies of areas of the brain used for reading have generally shown that the same areas involved in oral language usage and comprehension are involved in reading.
		Shaywitz and her colleagues did find, as have those who study damaged brains, that the areas of the brain involved in reading are those same language regions of the left hemisphere.

		By comparing strains of mice in which many brain cells die after seizures with other strains of mice in which the same nerve cells survive, scientists are now on the trail of a number of these important genes.
		For many years we have known that in epilepsy certain nerve cells are lost in specific areas of the brain, such as the hippocampus, but these studies are showing that the amount of damage may depend upon the age at which the epilepsy began.
		Research performed over several decades suggests that seizure-induced brain injury is highly dependent upon developmental age, with the juvenile and adult brain being more susceptible to damage and rewiring after seizures than the brain of the newborn.
