Define - Aquired Brain Injury - ANSWER an injury to the brain that in not hereditary, congenital,
degenerative, or included by birth trauma. It occurs after birth with presumed normal brain
development preceding the injury. It results in a change in neuronal activity affecting physical integrity,
the metabolic activity or the functional ability of never cells. Acquired brain injury is an umbrella
definition as it includes injuries caused by external physical forces,applied to the head, as well as internal
insults to the brain.
