Upon first glance, you might assume that the brain is firm and rubbery. In reality, it's more malleable than that - much more malleable, almost the consistency of soft butter or Jell-O. "It's so soft that even just a collision with the inside of your skull can give you brain damage," said Dr. Cameron Shaw. "Or it'll set off catastrophic swelling that can crush your brain inside the skull."
An unsettling and creepy thought, to be sure, but further proof that we all need to take a proactive role in fortifying and safeguarding our brains.
