What does brain damage mean? What do we mean by brain damage in this context? Because brain damage is a big term to use, and it can mean many things. Its literal definition is damage to the brain, and people think about physical damage whenever they hear brain damage. The surprising thing is it’s not the physical damage that happens to our brain, even though our brain changes itself anatomically. The narcissist never hits you on the head; in most cases, that never happens. So, the physical damage is not what you experience; you experience functional brain damage.
Well, what does that mean? That simply means your brain stops functioning the way it normally should and starts functioning for one purpose. Can you guess what that is? To keep you alive, to survive this. The various aspects of functional brain damage haveFor example, the inflammation of your amygdala, the shrinkage of your hippocampus, and your prefrontal cortex, and so on.
Today we are going to talk about a special area in your prefrontal cortex or frontal lobe called Broca’s area. It is located in the left cerebral hemisphere. You don’t need to remember any of this, but just for you to know that this area is responsible for speech regulation and your linguistic skills. Broca’s area, located in our frontal lobe, is mainly responsible for language production, but its role is still unclear. Researchers say that it has a direct connection with the production of speech, its syntax, grammar, and the muscle movements of our tongue and mouth in combination to produce speech. But they just do not know what it does fully.
It is important to understand this. It’s really important for us to understand that with the frontal lobe changing, as I mentioned in the prefrontal cortex area, which is this area, every other part of the brain changes as well to adapt. What do I mean by adaptation? The amygdala, for example, shows inflammation because it has to heighten the sensitivity towards threat perception. It has to know and quickly respond to your environment. It has to scan it for possible danger. So, what does the body do? It gives more preference to that area, shows more functioning there, and other parts where thinking, rationalizing, decision-making, and all the other stuff that happens that needs time and that you can do when feeling safe are suppressed. It’s what happens with continued exposure to stress.
