Brain injuries, regardless of their perceived severity, can initiate a chain of cognitive challenges that endure over time. Studies highlight that repeated head trauma can instigate neurodegeneration, wherein the brain's essential functions gradually deteriorate. This not only compromises immediate cognitive abilities but also escalates the risk of developing debilitating neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.
