Hit Your Head - Unwire Your Brain

Smash your head on a door left open by a co-worker lately? Or did you bend over and pop your brain on a table corner coming back up … in cluttered work spaces? Some work spaces amount to accidents waiting to ambush the next human head that happens by.

If that’s so at your firm … you’ll be interested in new research that show how even mild blows literally “unwire” the human brain, and change its capabilities.

Much to the surprise of Dr. Marilyn Kraus … neurologists at the University of Illinois … even a rather minor blow to the head can unwire key connections in your brain. Does it surprise you?

Check out this research further and watch for the next hard object near your noodle.

According to co-researcher Deborah Little … "The white matter of the brain has the same function as the cables of the computer. When white matter is damaged, areas of the brain may appear healthy but they are actually 'unplugged' and cannot function."

Are safety regulations really safe … when it comes to brain injury … where you work?

I hit my head hard last week. Am I in trouble?

Robyn, I too wonder the same thing - after walking into a door when it slammed in the wind:-). What was cool though -- is that I thought of a solution I needed for a contract here at the center. Could this be a good thing or not? Scheesch .... Too many questions -- too few answers....

Gee, maybe I was dropped on my head when I was a baby! It would sure explain a few things... :-D
