"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. A common category with the greatest number of injuries is traumatic brain injury following physical trauma or head injury from an outside source, and the term acquired brain injury is used in appropriate circles to differentiate brain injuries occurring after birth from injury due to a disorder or congenital malady. In general, brain damage refers to significant, undiscriminating trauma-induced damage, while neurotoxicity typically refers to selective, chemically-induced neuron damage.
