Brains are dumb.  I prefer to think with my gut.  Oh, and sometimes my heart.

  I came across an interesting web site in my aimless wandering through the internet maze.  

  http://www.fi.edu/learn/brain/head.html

  With the type fighting we do on a weekly and daily bases I thought it might be helpful to bring it to the attention of my SCA family.  It is something serious to keep in mind when playing our game.  The subtitles that jumped out at me were: 

  Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Personality Changes

  Head Injuries in Sports

  Football Players - Multiple Concussions - Study

  Head Injury Links to Violence

  Neural Circuit Damage and Violent or Aggressive Behavior

  Most Vulnerable Area of the Head - Prefontal Cortex

  Anyway, there it is.  I hope this helps us all to play safer and identify problems early.  If anyone has more information on the multiple concussions topic I, for one, would love to see it.

  In service to The Barony and the SCA,
