When does a concussion actually become dangerous?
A few months ago we posted a video that shows what your brain looks like during a concussion — and people had a lot of questions. We called up UC Berkeley neurologist, Bob Knight, to get to the bottom of it. And he told us what exactly happens to the brain during a concussion — and most surprisingly: there’s one type of blow that is particularly dangerous to your brain. *FEATURING:* Professor Bob Knight, Neurologist, UC Berkeley *READ MORE:* - Find out what else Bob's lab is up to at The Knight Lab : https://knightlab.neuro.berkeley.edu/ *CITATIONS* - Aaron Hernandez’s brain found to have Stage 3 CTE: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/11/09/563194252/researcher-says-aaron-hernandez-s-brain-showed-signs-of-severe-cte - Repetitive Head Impacts and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308132071_Repetitive_Head_Impacts_and_Chronic_Traumatic_Encephalopathy - Phineas Gage: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1114479/ - More Phineas: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/phineas-gage-neurosciences-most-famous-patient-11390067/ #brain #concussion #science #health #sports @UCBerkeley *CHAPTERS:* 00:00 Your brain during a concussion 00:38 Is the brain really that jiggly? 01:20 Sharp ridges in the skull 01:38 What is a concussion? 02:03 The story of Phineas Gage 02:59 What is CTE? 03:40 Rotational forces and brain trauma ——— 📺 *Subscribe!* http://bit.ly/1fUWHyY Fig. 1 explores big ideas —from science to culture to history to psychology — and the brilliant minds behind it. 🧠 Find more Fig. 1 at: https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/fig1?utm_source=youtube-fig1&utm_medium=social-organic
