Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1,000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.61 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in approximately 2.3 mm. If...

An RN is assigned to care for a client with a history of a traumatic brain injury, who was readmitted to the hospital from a long-term care setting with pneumonia. The RN notes this hospital admission is the fourth one this year. The RN self-reflects: “This client keeps coming back to the unit because he is unable to cough and clear his airway. There are frequently skin breakdown issues, and he seems frailer to me. The client is immobile and...

Imagine that humans will someday evolve to have brains that are more resilient to Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) than those we have today. What anatomically and/or cellular changes might need to occur in the human brain for it to confer this resilience?
