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.
In: Biology
Like most things, it depends.
The vast majority of the time, there’s no damage in the short or long term damage to the brain.
But, sometimes there is enough damage to the right parts to the brain to have a long term impact.
It’s certainly not common enough to warrant a household phrase.
