Document Summary
Concussion is the translation of mechanical forces to the brain. Rotational force creates sheer damage to neural and glial networks. Glial is the insulation and plays a role in overall brain health. When someone has a concusison, thought that frontal and temporal lobes are the most sensitive to the sheer related damage. High level cognitive function ie speak, math, good decisions. Coup injury to frontal lobe is less severe than a countercoup to frontal lobe. Coup injury is less severe because if you fall on your face, nasal passageways will serve as airbags to lessen the severity of the coup injury. You"ll break your face but brain is ok! In contrecoup to frontal lobe, face airbags cant really help u. Reason why mens football has so many concussions. 110 players per college football team that dresses per game. Dress a shit ton of people, more people involved so more likely to see concussions.
