Neurotrauma,<unk>  or<unk>  injury (BI) is the destruction or degeneration of<unk>  cells.<unk>  injuries occur due to a wide range of internal and external factors. In general,<unk>  refers to significant, undiscriminating trauma-induced<unk> . A common category with the greatest number of injuries is traumatic<unk>  injury (TBI) following physical trauma or head injury from an outside source, and the term acquired<unk>  injury (ABI) is used in appropriate circles to differentiate<unk>  injuries occurring after birth from injury, from a genetic disorder (GBI), or from a congenital disorder (CBI). Primary and secondary<unk>  injuries identify the processes involved, while focal and diffuse<unk>  injury describe the severity and localization. Recent research has demonstrated that neuroplasticity, which allows the<unk>  to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life, provides for rearrangement of its workings. This allows the<unk>  to compensate for injury and disease.
