How bad are the injuries if shot by a .22 LR at point blank to the head?

---

Exactly how deadly?
To answer how serious the injuries are to the brain depends on where the bullet entered and what area of the brain the bullet has pierced into. This also depends on how fast the person received medical treatment. The brain can only last a few seconds before dead tissue starts to develop. In any case, if the person does not receive medical treatment immediately, the prognosis is usually poor (meaning it is 95-100% deadly)  (+ info)

why did the occurances of head injuries remain high during world war one after the issue of helmets?

---

Following the issue of the 'Pattern' helmet to British Army Troops during World War One, the occurances of head injuries remained very high. WHY?
Because the soldiers put too much faith in the quality and safety factors the helmet was supposed to provide, and put themselves in harms way with less concern. They took more risks WITH the helmet, than they took without one, so the injuries not only stayed the same, the fatalities actually increased, while minor injuries diminished. Good luck!  (+ info)

Are concussions considered to be head injuries or brain injuries?

---

and if a child had a concussion at a very early age could this effect learning later in life?
A concussion is the least serious form of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Concussion generally is trauma to the brain which is significant to cause interruption of function (loss of conciousness, amnesia, etc) but not serious enough to cause structural damage to the brain. It's basically a jolt to the brain that messes up the brain synapses temporarily.

By that definition, a concussion should not cause any problems with learning later in life.  (+ info)
