This news story is not a surprise to me. The human brain is not a 'muscle', which can absorb punishment and return to its former strength, it is a collection of highly sensitive cells and nerves which produce amazing imaginations, thoughts and emotions; can be constructive and inventive, can produce feelings of euphoria that are deeper than any drug. Of course there are 'lows', but that only enhances the opposite. A human brain is unique among the Earth's creatures, but its exceptional powers makes it vulnerable - to blows and concussions. Cells which die from shock do not regenerate, they die. Other cells take their place in thought processes, but too many times and the diminishing numbers of available cells called upon cannot do the same job as those initial and 'trained;' cells, and so the brain diminishes in potential and abilities. This leads to depressions and quality of thought - a reduced person, an inadequate person, and ultimately to suicidal thoughts. It's all a logical process, but not fully appreciated by people. More education about the brain;'s vulnerability should be taught at every school and media outlet.
