Injuries to the Brain's Anatomy
| Area of the anatomy injured | Potential effects |
| Cerebellum | Damage to the cerebellum can result in a condition known as ataxia. Ataxia causes muscle coordination problems and can interfere with a person's ability to walk, talk, eat, and to perform other self care tasks. |
| Brain stem | The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. An injury to this part of the brain anatomy can affect a variety of functions including breathing, heart rate, digestion, blood pressure, alertness and even the ability to stay awake. |
| Frontal lobe | Injuries to the frontal lobe portion of the brain's anatomy can affect a wide range of "higher cognitive functions" — including emotion, personality, behavior and activities such as planning, organizing or problem solving. |
| Occipital lobe | Damage to the occipital lobe can cause blindness, difficulty recognizing shapes or colors and other visual impairments. |
| Parietal lobe | Injuries to either parietal lobe can impair a person's sense and perception of touch. In addition, right parietal lobe injuries may cause spatial relations problems, and left parietal lobe injuries may impair a person's ability to understand language. |
| Temporal lobe | Injuries to the temporal lobe portions of the brain's anatomy may affect a person's sense of smell, hearing and ability to sort out new information. They may also cause short-term memory problems and affect an individuals ability to remember pictures, faces, words or names. |
