A member asked:
Wouldn't brain damage show up on eeg, ct or mri?

No: I know it can be very frustrating sometimes, but brain-damaged does not always show up on any of the imaging studies that we have. Usually memory and personality are good traits to follow. Seeing a good neuropsychologist can also help a lot. Please see your regular doctor for follow-up on this.

Maybe: If the brain damage is severe enough, then either the mri, ct and/or eeg would be abnormal.
