Lesion method inferences about normal brain function. Closed head injury (falls, car accidents, sport injuries) Brain movement in the skull due to sudden stop without declaration. Dementing disorders causing pathological changes in the brain. Demyelinating diseases which cause damage to the myelin sheath surrounding neurons.
