A member asked:

Can damage to your brain cause you to be dizzy and affect your cognitive ability/behaviour?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Brain damage: Yes. Brain damage can manifest in many ways depending on the location, the severity, and the cause of the damage. Whether it is reversible or irreversible depends on the severity and if the brain cells are stunned or dead. Time and rehabilitation will determine the outcome.
