When pathologists perform autopsies on people with diffuse
axonal injury, they see severed axons with swollen tips, just like what Smith sees in his experiments.
Diffuse
axonal injuries are common traumatic brain
injuries that occur
when the head rapidly accelerates or decelerates, with the brain moving faster than the skull.
Primary
injuries include: lacerations,
when the brain tissue is cut or torn; contusions,
when the brain is bruised; rupturing of blood vessels; and
axonal injury, where neurons are stretched and torn.
