Can a B.J.  cause rapid movement of the girl's head? If so could that kill brain cells also?

UMMM NO.  What kind of question is that????  If someone is moving that fast on you, you better be careful.

You lose brain cells every day without anything happening at all. Various things such as smoking, drinking alcohol or taking drugs, OR being hit in the head hard enough to sustain a concussion, will accelerate brain cell loss. \n\nBut just like with the rest of your body, you also grow new brain cells every day. Therefore, if you get hit in the head and are experiencing some thinking problems-- lack of memory, concentration, etc.-- you will PROBABLY get back most or all of your brain function as long as you don't do anything to aggravate the situation. Thinking problems related to getting hit in the head are more likely caused by pressure from bruising or swelling against the brain, and not actual "loss" of brain cells.

The basic mechanism of a concussion is the brain banging up against the inside of the skull. Think of coffee in a cup in your lap in the car. You hit the brakes hard and the coffee tries to keep going, sloshing out of your cup. When the head under goes a rapid change in direction, the brain continues to travel in the direction it was already going. If it is a sudden stop, it continues to move forward in the cerebral spinal fluid that surrounds it, striking the inside of the skull. \nOversimplifying slightly, this kills a bunch of brain cells. The death of brain cells (and other interruptions in brain function caused by the same basic mechanism) causes the symptoms of loss of consciousness, dizziness, memory loss, "stars in front of the eyes."

You need to get her to a neurologist right now!  This sounds like a serious head injury.  If there is bleeding in the brain, many bad things can happen.

Rapid deteriation of mind and body.

Lots of stuff.  Alcohol is a poison --if you drink enough.  It dehydrates you , so i imagine the brain is also dehydrated.  i understand that heavy drinking can kill brain cells, but i don't know how much that source considered to be "heavy."

Yes. But it is very difficult to explain as the study of bio mechanics is in the early stages. As everyone knows it is possible to stimulate the brain by either electrical or chemical means. Our brain is active both electrically and chemically. I wish you pursue this line of study as it has huge potential.

it doesn't sound safe. I don't even know what it is. But if you have to ask, the answer is no.\n\nhuffing kills your brain.

The part of the brain called the cerebellum is at the base of the brain and the top of the spinal cord.  This part of the brain governs all the autonomic body functions... breathing, heart beat, many other automatic body functions.  You neighbor may have had a heart beat when he left your presence, but if he was "brain dead" it would not be too much longer when his heart would have stopped beating and his breathing also stopped.  It is the brain that governs your body functions... that is why drugs are such a threat to use... as they attack this part of the brain and eventually kills the person... A normal drug dose amount used one day and again used the next day just may become an OD amount of drug that will damage the brain to the point it will not recover... it will be the killing dose... One never knows...

If you mean B.J. then no... Its impossible unless she made you bleed and she had a cut in her mouth. Hope that helps.. Heidi

It depends on how hard the head was hit.  He/she may just be a little stunned, but if there are any other indications of brain damage, or if the loss of speach persists, you should get him/her to a hospital.  Try asking questions, see if the person understands you, or try to get them to write answers down.\nIf the person's head was hit very hard, don't wait.  When it comes to a person's brain, you shouldn't take any chances.

i dont know that much about tourettes but people said i had it once so ive done a little research on it and watched a true life documentary on it. i didnt know that it was different between boys and girls. i just thought there were different symptoms on everyone like some people have motion tourettes and some verbal. i dont know if this helped at all but i know its not just different between boys and girls. good luck with getting your real question answered.

are you being funny or for real? \nstriking the jaw -or any part of the skull properly will allow the brain to move inside the skull- see, the brain is sitting in a bit of cerbrospinal fluid, and the force of the strike causes the brain to move in the skull-rubbing the brain against the inner skull- this is where the concussion comes in- think of a short-circuit. lights out, brain is calling it quits, knees, arms, legs, all buckle and it's nighty-night, out of the fight!

interesting question. I'm not sure I think it would depend on how you die. If it was something that would affect your brain like spine injury or stroke probly not but maybe if you have a heart attack your brain can still process for a few seconds while it still has blood that your heart stopped and you are dying. I do know that the brain can still work when cut off from the body (for a few seconds.) When they decapitated people they told them to blink until they couldn't anymore and the people would blink for almost 30 seconds after the head was cut off until they bleed to death. Kinda scary...

it's an argument that's as old as it is contentious: that male and female brains work differently.\n\nMichael Gurian, psychologist and author of "What Could He Be Thinking?" believes there are about a hundred structural differences that have been identified between the male and female brain.\n\n"Men, because we tend to compartmentalize our communication into a smaller part of the brain, we tend to be better at getting right to the issue," he said.\n\n"The more female brain (will) gather a lot of material, gather a lot of information, feel a lot, hear a lot, sense a lot," he said.\n\nScientists say males have more activity in mechanical centers of the brain, whereas females show more activity in verbal and emotional centers.\n\nThe differences can be noticed from early childhood, Gurian said, such as when an adult gives a child a doll.\n\n"That doll becomes life-like to that girl, but you give it to a two-year-old boy and you are more likely, not all the time, but you are more likely than not to see that boy try to take the head off the doll," he said.\n\n"He thinks spatial-mechanical. He's using the doll as an object".\n\nTo find out why these differences exist, scientists have taken voyages deep inside the gray matter using MRI scans.\n\nThe scans show that in most women, the corpus callosum area, which handles communication between the brain's two "hemispheres", is larger.\n\nIn layman's terms, it means that the two sides of the female brain "talk" better to each other -- which could explain why studies show women tend to multi-task better.\n\nOn the other hand, the scans show men tend to move information more easily within each hemisphere.\n\nIt all boils down to genes, according to Dr. Marianne Legato Partnership for Gender Specific Medicine Columbia University.\n\nWomen are born with two X chromosomes, and men with an X and a Y.\n\n"And on that Y chromosome are at least 21 unique genes unique to males which control many of the body's operations down to the level of the cells," Dr Legato said.\n\nShe also said those genetic differences explain other differences, like why men can drink more alcohol than women without becoming intoxicated.\n\n"Women do not have the enzyme in their stomach that degrades alcohol which men have," she said.\n\nUnfortunately it doesn't explain why some men leave the toilet seat up, or some women can't take out the garbage.

Apparently  it causes brain damage. The correct spelling is   states.
