Traumatic Brain Injuries: Effects of damage to different lobes of the brain

Brain Injury Attorney Eric Ratinoff talks about traumatic brain injury - an area of personal injury he is proud to represent. He is always looking for opportunities to learn and share education on this topic, and he has created this video podcast on the areas of the brain and how they are affected by injury.

Areas of the brain discussed are the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, cerebellum and brain stem.

I have developed CTE from far to many concussions way to young. Informative video on brain function.

@pirate878987 We just attended a press conference on that very subject. Too many people suffer from CTE unnecessarily, but fortunately now there is more awareness about repeat concussions and how dangerous they can be for our young people. Glad you found the video helpful - thank you for your comment.

nice video... i would like to know if some one has this medical problem, is there a cure for this, can the cell heal back to normal again, any treatment for it?? Please reply..... thnx

[kcrlegal]

@techn9c9an A few years back new studies began to reveal that the brain does have some level of plasticity, nerve cells can remold in response to trauma, and new neural connections can be made. There are a couple of good articles you could read but unfortunately I can't post links here. Google search "brain injury recovery" and you'll find them.

Hope that helps!

This is the second video ive watched in the last few minutes pushed by Attorney or Lawyer thanks for the info but the end of the video was abit sickening money wont make a brain injury go away i was assaulted but never looked for financial compensation because i didnt want the persons dirty money having said that i dont need care around the clock.

@EddieCullen85 Thank you for your comment. No, money won't make the injury go away, but it can enable the injured person to receive the best care and education resources possible, provide relief to their caregivers, and ensure they won't fall into severe debt due to mounting medical bills. Not to mention, a legal victory sends a strong message to the negligent party and can set in place safeguards to protect against future negligence.

We wish you the best in your healing.

@TheDitzyLady good on you my friend, i am still recovering too, i drop my head when i was a kid back n front got stiches for both of them. :( how bout you do u have problem with speech???

@techn9c9an I had a car accident in 2005 and  I crushed the whole right side of my head & brain (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital lobes). At the time the doctors were not sure if I would survive, let alone walk or talk or sit up. Keeping a positive outlook, determination & family emotional support helped me the most. Granted, I am NOT 100% like I was before the accident but I'm still here, I have done my best to adapt and educate myself to the changes in my life.

Dead on...I was told, & aslo studied, some, that msot of my damage was in areas other than frntall lobe, although several areas of injury, frontal wasn't said to be most damaged. When you wrakcked off traits/symptoms, for frontal lobe, every single one...But, I've intermittent problems, & the focus of area damaged seems to change, sometimes. Sometimes I feel & function normally, although some friends/family say they note I don't, but I feel I do, because it's not always as bad as other times.
