The human brain is an extremely complex and delicate organ. Brain injury can be caused by major or minor trauma. Such an injury is commonly called traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injury can be caused by a fall, a motor vehicle accident or any blow to the head, and may or may not result in a closed head injury. The effects of brain injury can be devastating and life-altering. Head injuries and brain damage resulting from traumatic brain injury can trigger a number of functional changes which often drastically affect a person's thinking, emotions, sensation, language and memory. It can also increase one's risk for other brain disorders that become more common as one ages.

Traumatic brain injury, brain damage and other injuries to the head are commonly known to result from direct trauma to the skull. However, brain injury or brain damage can also result from the rapid acceleration and deceleration of the brain, which can cause shearing or tearing of nerve fibers, contusion or bruising if the brain contacts the skull, or edema or swelling.
