<unk>  <unk>  is<unk>  damage caused by events after birth, rather than as part of a genetic or congenital disorder such as fetal alcohol syndrome, perinatal illness or perinatal hypoxia.<unk>  can result in cognitive, physical, emotional, or behavioural impairments that lead to permanent or temporary changes in functioning. These impairments result from either traumatic<unk><unk>  (e.g. physical trauma due to accidents, assaults, neurosurgery, head<unk>  etc.) or nontraumatic<unk>  derived from either an internal or external source (e.g. stroke,<unk>  tumours, infection, poisoning, hypoxia, ischemia, encephalopathy or substance abuse).<unk>  does not include damage to the<unk>  resulting from neurodegenerative disorders. While research has demonstrated that thinking and behavior may be altered in virtually all forms of<unk> ,<unk><unk>  is itself a very complex phenomenon having dramatically varied effects. No two persons can expect the same outcome or resulting difficulties. The<unk>  controls every part of human life: physical, intellectual, behavioral, social and emotional. When the<unk>  is damaged, some part of a person's life will be adversely affected. Consequences of<unk>  often require a major life adjustment around the person's new circumstances, and making that adjustment is a critical factor in recovery and rehabilitation. While the outcome of a given<unk>  depends largely upon the nature and severity of the<unk>  itself, appropriate treatment plays a vital role in determining the level of recovery.
