What happens to your brain after a concussion? 🧠💥 • Your brain is one of the most protected organs in your body. It’s surrounded by three layers of membranes called meninges and cushioned by cerebrospinal fluid, designed to absorb impacts. But even this intricate defense system has its limits. • When you hit your head hard enough, your brain can slam against the inside of your skull. This back-and-forth motion disrupts its delicate structure, stretching and damaging brain cells. The immediate effects? Confusion, memory issues, trouble speaking, or even blurry vision. These are the hallmarks of a concussion. • The danger intensifies with repeated injuries. In 2005, Dr. Bennet Omalu discovered Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in an NFL player, revealing permanent damage caused by years of repeated blows to the head. Over time, these impacts shrink critical areas of the brain, weaken neural connections, and lead to symptoms like memory loss, mood swings, and even drastic personality changes. • Despite 44 rule changes and record-low concussions in 2022, the NFL’s efforts have left many wondering: is it enough? The reality is that CTE is irreversible. Prevention—avoiding repeated head trauma—is the only effective solution. • Your brain works hard to protect you, but it can only take so much. Let’s protect it back. 💡 Follow for more science-backed insights into your health. • #BrainHealth #CTEAwareness #ScienceExplained
