    The document discusses how the brain normally functions by coordinating the body, multitasking, and processing information. It then explains that concussions are common brain traumas typically caused by violent head movement during sports or accidents. A concussion disrupts normal brain processes and causes symptoms throughout the body like cognitive difficulties, lack of motor control, lethargy, and unusual behavior as the brain bleeds and swells within the skull. While the brain is affected, concussions also impact other parts of the body with symptoms ranging from numbness to balance issues.

    The Brain

    Normally
    and then
    effected by
    a
    Concussio

    How does
    the brain
    usually
    act?

    What types
    of things
    can happen
    to the
    brain?
    The main thing that
    can happen to the
    brain is some sort of
    trauma. This trauma
    is known as a
    concussion and is
    extremely common

    usually extremely
    adept at
    coordinating the rest
    of the body. It can
    handle the multiple
    tasks at once along
    with processing data
    and it helps with
    understanding
    external stimuli.

    This brochure covers how your


    childs brain works normally and
    some of the effects that a
    concussion can be expected to
    have.

    The brain is truelu


    wonderful and
    complex, seamlessly
    and apparently
    effortlessly able to
    attend to multiple
    different tasks at the
    same time.- John S.

    Why does this trauma


    happen?
    The main source of this trauma is
    naturally the movement of the head in a
    violent nature. This most typically
    happens when the child is playing or
    involved in some sort of accident.
    However over the last couple of years
    there has been an increase in the amount
    of injuries that happen when the child is
    engaged in some sort of sport.

    brain that are interrupted:

    What does this trauma


    do?
    This trauma has an overall effect on the
    brain and the body by throwing
    everything out of synch. This is due to the
    effects of the damage that has been done
    to the brain. The brain can bleed and
    swell causing pressure in the head as the

    behavior

    Is the brain the only


    body part thats effected
    by the concussion?

    No, as you can tell


    from other sections the
    brain isnt the only
    body part effected by
    the trauma. The effects
    are felt throughout the
    body and can be
    something as simple as
    not feeling their fingers
    or toes all the way to
    major issues like
    habitual balance loss
    and inability to stand.
