Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In closed head injury, rotational forces cause the brain to move and push against the inside of the skull, leading to damage such as contusions or shearing of nerve fibers. Increased production of myelin or deficit of neurotrophins, as well as infection, do not play a direct role in the damage caused by closed head injuries.
