The Brain Class

Interesting Facts The sport with the most concussion is one many people do not think

of, cheerleading Our brains are like wirers shutting electrical waves through water to

one another and not as safe as you would think. It is just amazing how our brains work and how vulnerable they are. Even a small fall could cause your brain harm and if not looked into it could kill you.

Some of the symptoms you might have when you get a concussion are Headaches, dizziness, nausea, sensory impairment, or irritability. There might also be a delay in response to questions, poor concentration, unstable emotions, diminished motor skills, or character changes.

Some long term problems include permanent brain damage, memory problems, mood swings, and temper tantrums. Some of these effects are caused by damage to the frontal lobe; the frontal lobe is the part of your brain that tells you right from wrong, good choice from bad choice, so it is very important and if it is severely damaged you could begin acting latterly like a three year old.
