Asking because i always hear the phrase “oh they must’ve been dropped on their head as a kid” in response to someone doing something weird or dumb. My sister got dropped on her head on concrete, had a bad concussion, and turned out fine, and I got a major concussion as a 1 year old due to a parking lot mugging and have some issues that are unexplainable by doctors except for that incident. I’m just wondering if the likelihood of long term damage is significant enough to warrant a household phrase.

[An amazing talk about exactly that](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=esPRsT-lmw8) the brain scans he shows are amazingly interesting 😀
In short, if it was very early, it might have impact without anyone noticing, because the brain adapts, so its not immediately recognizable.
Edit: keep in mind: hes a doctor. So he encounters mostly people that already have a problem. The ones that dont have a problem but have fallen on their heads don’t go to him, so there is a bias.
