A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a blow or
jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal
function of the brain. Traumatic brain injury in humans typically produces
neurological suppression and a longer lasting impairment of memory clinically
defined as post-traumatic amnesia.
