After watching the videos, read the two case studies below. Your job is to determine which region or regions of the brain are injured and why you feel that way. Be sure to support your answer with paraphrasing and proper citation of the text or other source and follow the guidelines on the rubric.
Case Study 1:
R.H. experienced a traumatic brain injury from a car accident in July 2004. Before the accident he was employed as an attorney. The accident put him in the hospital for 3 weeks and resulted in damage to the brain. His main deficits included difficulties with expressive language (speaking), memory, and he became aggressive with his personality. Because his career was reliant on his language skills, memory and concentration, he was unable to continue working. This resulted in him also experiencing depression and anxiety.
Case Study 2:
H.R. was a small child when she fell from a high chair. After the injury she had difficulty moving her right arm and very little sensation in her right hand. In addition, her vision was often blurry and she had difficulty in understanding emotions.
