8. Head Injury: A Catalyst for TGA
A blow to the head can cause transient disruption to brain function, potentially resulting in an episode of TGA. This typically involves a brief disruption of nerve signaling in the brain due to the impact, leading to a temporary lapse in memory formation or recall.
Understanding the potential link between head injuries and TGA underscores the importance of head safety and injury prevention measures. While the majority of mild head injuries do not result in TGA, it’s a reminder of the potential cognitive implications that can result from these incidents. (8)
