This type of damage has been linked to an imbalance in brain chemistry, specifically in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which helps signaling in the brain. ]]> 2018-03-21 17:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tabatha_cavin/ahbpfa60i5y8/wish/244650489 Evidence 7 falissitie_depasqual https://padlet.com/tabatha_cavin/ahbpfa60i5y8/wish/244651488 Mild head injuries do not cause lasting amnesia, but more severe head injuries may cause permanent amnesia.]]> 2018-03-21 17:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tabatha_cavin/ahbpfa60i5y8/wish/244651488 Evidence 8 falissitie_depasqual https://padlet.com/tabatha_cavin/ahbpfa60i5y8/wish/244653639 Amnesia can be caused by damage to areas of the brain that are vital for memory processing.
