How badly do you have to hit in the head to kill brain cells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: There have been studies of rhesus monkeys who have been hit in head with various forces, and you could google this (cute critters who should have been spared this). It may be less important whether one significant head injury occurs, vrs. Multiple head injuries, post-traumatic repetitive encephalopathy, such as in professional athletes.
