This two minute video explains the symptoms of a concussion and is a must watch for nurses, doctors, the teachers. While there are some physical symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness and blurred vision, concussions usually don't cause bleedin...g or swelling in the brain and don't show up on x-rays. In an effort to
diagnose his concussion, doctors used the ImPACT test, a computer
program which measures attention span and memory.
"A concussion can be categorized as a transient loss of neurological
function. You don't necessarily need to lose consciousness. Actually in
most mild concussions in sports you don't lose consciousness, " reports brain injury specialist, Dr. John Knightly of Overlook Hospital. The key is keeping the child away from contact until he/she has healed.

How can three pounds of jelly inside our skulls enable us to do everything that makes us human? For centuries, scientists have been fascinated and puzzled by the mysterious workings of the brain. Now, for the first time, they can re-create in the com...puter the shapes of every one of the billions of nerve cells that make up our brains— the component parts of the intricate neural circuits that allow us to move, see and hear, to feel and to think. Armed with this new tool, scientists are beginning to decipher the secrets of the brain’s architecture, which may one day enable us to build smart technologies that surpass the capabilities of anything we have today.
