Description
Brain injury affects the way a person thinks, learns and remembers. Different mental abilities are located in different parts of the brain, so a head injury can damage some, but not necessarily all, skills such as speed of thought, memory, understanding, and concentration, solving problems and using language.
Communication problems after brain injury are very common. Everyone who has had a head injury can be left with some changes in emotional reaction and behaviour. Executive dysfunction is a term for the range of cognitive, emotional and behavioural difficulties which often occur after injury to the frontal lobes of the brain. Impairment of executive functions is common after acquired brain injury and has a profound effect on many aspects of everyday life.
