DESCRIPTION:The mechanism of brain injury is complex and depending on the g
 iven scenario that leads to a traumatic brain injury\, different brain reg
 ions are affected yielding different sets of possible symptoms. The region
 s affected cannot be predicted by simply locating the point of impact for 
 the coup injury and the side opposite the area that was hit for the contre
 coup injury. The resulting symptoms will also depend on subsequent head ro
 tation\, acceleration and deceleration and whether any protective gear was
  utilized. Computational simulations offer a unique view of what exactly i
 s happening inside a human skull when exposed to external forces. Moreover
 \, athletes tend to neglect reporting symptoms for various reasons\, e.g. 
 not thinking the injury is serious enough to need medical attention\, the 
 need to remain in competition\, and/or lack of awareness of what to consid
 er as a symptom. This discussion is appropriate for both practitioners as 
 well as undergraduate Engineering students.\n\nCo-sponsored by: John Vodop
