The Anatomy of the Temporal Brain Injury
The anatomy of the brain provides a fair amount of protection against injuries. In addition to the skull, there are three layers of meninges. Despite these safeguards built into the body, the brain can sustain serious and severe injuries from trauma and impact. Open head injuries occur when something penetrates the skull and causes damage in that manner; whereas, the closed head injury occurs when the brain knocks against the skull from a swift action.
Effect of Temporal Lobe Brain Injuries
The temporal lobes are located at the side and bottom area of each side of the brain. Temporal lobe injuries tend to occur from motor vehicle accidents, falls or firearms. Victims who sustain temporal lobe injuries tend to experience:
- Auditory sensation
- Auditory perception
- Inability to pay attention
- Obsession
- Loss of humor
- Inability to understand language
- Difficulty retrieving long-term memory
- Emotional disturbances
- Altered sexual behavior
