> If it's not permanent is it still to be considered a brain "injury"?

I'm not sure I understand the assumptions behind this question. If I sprain my ankle, that is an ankle "injury," even though it is not permanent. What am I missing?

Sprained ankles often leave you susceptible to more injuries in that zone in the future, suggesting they may not completely heal.

I'm curious if the human brain can be expected to respond in a similar way.

It is not known what the timeline could be, so injury seems fair to me. By the same analogy it may lead to mental health problems “down the line”.

Makes sense, thank you!
