Brain Injuries • The human brain is fragile. Scientists and doctors are just learning how fragile the brain truly is. Technologies are being developed that show microscopic damage that was previously undiagnosable. • Some brain injuries can lead to permanent impairment; other injuries can prove fatal. Any serious brain injury can drastically change the life of the person experiencing it, as well as the lives of his or her family and friends. • The brain can sustain damage in a variety of ways. Often, head injuries occur because of the negligence of others. The most common causes include car accidents, assaults, medical negligence during childbirth, and falls caused by dangerous conditions.

Brain Anatomy If you or a loved one has experienced a brain injury, it can be helpful to understand the basic anatomy of the human brain, which controls countless aspects of our thinking, our feelings, our movements and our interactions with others. The main parts of the brain are: The cerebral cortex, the broad outermost area of the brain, is involved in higher functions like decision making. It includes the occipital lobe, the parietal lobe, and the frontal and temporal lobes. The cerebellum, which plays a role in certain body movements. The brain stem, which helps control involuntary functions. The basal ganglia, a cluster of nerve tissue at the brain's core that is believed to aid in the coordination between different parts of the brain.
