What is Brain Injury?

Brain injury can be a devastating disability, and given the brain’s complexity and the differences in the types, locations, and extent of damage, the effects of a brain injury can be wide and varied. Some occur immediately, and some may take days or even years to appear.

The most common after effects of undiagnosed concussion and head trauma are memory issues, drug and alcohol dependency, anger outbursts family violence,road rage and criminality. Any one of the symptoms can alter or devastate a person’s life, and brain injury is made all the more difficult by the fact that it’s often hard to see and just as often misdiagnosed or dismissed as “personality problems” or a perceived mental disorder. But in fact, it is a serious and legitimate illness where sufferers deserve all the help and support they can get.

The Human Brain

The human brain in an incredible thing! It’s one of the most complex and least understood parts of the human body, but science is making new advances every day that tell us more about the brain.

The average human brain is 5.5 inches wide and 3.6 inches high. When we’re born, our brains weigh about 2 pounds, while the adult brain weighs about 3 pounds.

The brain accounts for about 2% of your total body weight, but it uses 20% of your body’s energy!

It sends out more electrical impulses in one day than all the telephones in the world, and it’s estimated that the brain thinks about 70,000 thoughts in a 24-hour period.

UPDATE: Ambulance Victoria spokeswoman Amelia Harris said ambulances were called to assist two people who had serious head injuries at 2.03am on Saturday in Olinda.

The man was taken to Maroondah Hospital and the woman was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Ms Harris said.

The pair, both in their late 50s, were leaving the hotel after closing up about 2am on Saturday, when they were approached by two people in balaclavas.

Olinda police sergeant Paul Phillips said the man and the woman were then forced back into the Mount Dandenong Tourist Rd hotel and seriously assaulted.

Sgt Phillips said it was still unclear if anything had been stolen.

Police are now urging those who may have seen anyone acting suspicious, or any cars leaving the area at the time, to contact their local police station, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
