I had a cerebral contusion.

Car accident.

Is there any risk of brain damage?

As you might know, a stroke is a brain injury.

Herniation of the brain stem due to intracerebral hemorrhage.

And what came up was a number of pieces of data.

If you hit 'em right in the nose, their bone goes up through their brain and kills 'em.

Well, uh, technically the procedure is brain damage.

No.

A bad sprain...

It's the process by which you recover from brain damage of various sorts, for instance, after a neurotrauma or a stroke. and it's also how you adapt to the fact that you now weight 20 pounds more after Christmas, and all your biomechanics are different, yet you still have to walk gracefully.

We carry out some research into the causes of brain damage.

'In my youth,' Father William replied to his son,

Because I know our brains are resilient.

So there is the pattern that every one of them had, but they all were a little different too.

The Politics of Frustration

It's the process by which your brain is involved in learning, say a new skill, learning to ski or play Sudoku do things like that.

(Laughter)

A bullet in the head would normally indicate significant brain trauma.

Sam, you suffered a slight concussion in the crash and have incurred minor injuries.

And when they do, they find that behind the glass, they find me.

Pain is a positive test.

She's some other woman. She's an impostor.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

The leg is not sprained?

The smell of stale beer and defeat.

Life as an engineer will bring only frustration.

This is so specific that, for example, if you look at the part that is covered in red in the upper part of the brain stem, if you damage that as a result of a stroke, for example, what you get is coma or vegetative state, which is a state, of course, in which your mind disappears, your consciousness disappears.

We've all had a heartache.

(Laughter)

So we've been looking at this the interaction of genes, what's called epigenetic effects, brain damage, and environment, and how these are tied together.

Bullet wounds, stabbings.

I had jaundice as a baby, so I didn't think it was serious, and I was told very forcefully by her doctor, this is extroardinarily serious.

He fell, twisting his ankle.

(Laughter)

Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies.

And how you end up with a psychopath, and a killer, depends on exactly when the damage occurs.

Deprive your brain of oxygen for just a few minutes, those brain cells die, they never come back.

And what does happen with that eventually is pneumonia sets in and liver, kidney, brain damage.

His brain is damaged from the use of this toxic and most terrible substance.

How did you sprain your ankle?

However, I was again frustrated by failure.

Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.

A flaw?
