WHAT DOES BRAIN DAMAGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Brain damage

"Brain damage" or "Brain Injury" is the destruction or degeneration of brain cells. Brain injuries occur due to a wide range of internal and external factors.

In general, brain damage refers to significant, undiscriminating trauma-induced damage, while neurotoxicity typically refers to selective, chemically-induced neuron damage.
