Concussion pathophysiology is complicated and involves numerous mechanisms, including excessive neurotransmitter release, metabolic derangements, neuroinflammation, cerebral blood flow changes, and axonal disruption. The initial biomechanical impact in a concussion results in abnormal function at the cellular level, which initiates a cascade of events that leads to microstructural changes and, in the minority of cases, more persistent, permanent damage.
脑震荡的病理生理学很复杂,涉及众多机制,包括神经递质过度释放、代谢紊乱、神经炎症、脑血流变化和轴突中断。脑震荡中的初始生物力学冲击会导致细胞水平的功能异常,引发一系列事件,进而导致微观结构变化,在少数情况下,会造成更持久的永久性损伤。
