Have you suffered a head injury?
"From the brain and from the brain only arise our pleasures, joys, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs and fears. Through it in particular, we think, see, hear and distinguish the ugly from the beautiful, the bad from the good, the pleasant from the unpleasant. It is the same thing which makes us mad or delirious, inspires us with dread and fear, whether by night or by day, brings sleeplessness, inopportune mistakes, aimless anxieties, absentmindedness, and acts that are contrary to habit."
(Hippocrates)
The brain is the master control centre of the body. It constantly receives information from the senses about conditions inside and outside the body. It analyzes this information and sends out messages that control body functions and actions. It stores information from past experiences, which makes learning and remembering possible. It is the source of thoughts, moods and emotions.
When things go wrong, the effects can be devastating. Not just for the injured person, but for his or her family, friends and colleagues too.
Unlike a broken arm or leg, which is easy to see and diagnose, an injury to the brain can be difficult to detect and is sometimes described as the "invisible injury".
