There are many types of brain structures that could be affected by a concussion, and cause minor or serious damage to the brain and cranium which could lead to long-term effect or temporary effects.
A couple I have found are the occipital lobes, the frontal lobes and the parietal lobes. The occipital lobes are located in the back of the head, if the concussion hit the back of the cranium then this would cause damage to the occipital lobes. Therefore, resulting in damage to your vision, because the occipital lobes process visual information.
The frontal lobes could also be affected by a concussion, because it’s located in the front and if the brain hits the back of the cranium then hits the front of the cranium where the Frontal lobes are located then …show more content…
The parietal lobes receive and processes information such as temperature and touch.
Temporary symptoms could include headache and vomiting (Reed-Guy 2017) this could occur if there is a lot of force done to the head. If damaged you could be faced with long-term issues which include the inability to attend more than one object at a time, difficulty with drawing objects, lack of awareness of certain body parts and/or surroundings (Lehr2017). I feel that there should be stricter regulations on how soon a player returns after a brain Injury because of how much damage could be done to the brain and if there not ready to start back playing it could cause issues during a game such as dizziness which could cause that person to fall and get trampled on or even seriously hurt. If there’s more serious damage done to the brain after trauma like having defects in your vision, then you could also get seriously hurt if you could not see well in the sport you’re playing. It could also lead to long-term cognitive
