What does a Brain Injury Look Like?: An Animated Video
Hot off the (virtual) press! A young Master's student in Biomedical Communcations, Paul Kelly, has created a super animation of what happens during brain injury as part of his Master's thesis.
What makes this video special is that he has the animations so you get a sense of what is going inside the skull when the brain is doing all the bouncing around, but he also zooms in and out from the whole brain to parts to neurons (brain cells) to even smaller internal parts of neurons called microtubules.
So when you see pictures of someone falling off their bike without a helmet or heading a soccer ball or getting head-checked in hockey (you don't DO any of those things, do you?? ;-), imagine what's going on inside their skull and re-play for yourself the sound of microtubules snapping (gives me the heebie-jeebies every time I hear it!)
Concussions - Seeing the Invisible Injury from Paul F Kelly on Vimeo.
(If your internet connection isn't very fast or if you don't see movement of the brain when Paul talks about it in the video, let it load first or play through and then play with it -- that will get rid of the dealys that prevent you seeing as it was meant to be seen!)

*teeth gritting*
The sound effects were really graphic ... but very effective. I found the video pretty basic but a good overview of the axonal structures and communication.
I always grimace whenever I see boxing, or a fall or anything like that, now I just have an even more graphic visual to acompany the concern already present...Thanks ;0p
Hi Dr Karen,

Bernadette:
Just found your comment waiting for approval -- sorry!
The video plays fine in my firefox browser. You may need to try from another computer or try a different browser -- I know sometimes Vimeo won't play in my Firefox, but is fine in Explorer.
He has some new videos there now too -- very cool stuff.

He seems to have reorganised his portfolio.
Brain injuries are extremely harmful and therefore we should be more careful regarding it and always try to avoid these types of injuries. In the above animation video we can know about the different injuries related to brain. The above information is extremely helpful and informative.
