It is the physiological disruption of brain function caused by trauma that is manifested by at least one of the following: Any period of loss of consciousness; Any loss of memory for events immediately before or after the accident; Any alteration in mental state at the time of accident (e.g. feeling dazed, disoriented, or confused) Focal neurological deficit(s) that may or may not be transient.
