Young people, particularly children, are better able to recover fully after a fairly serious brain trauma than an older person might be. In the young, the brain is still plastic, and new pathways in the brain can develop more easily.

Older people are far more vulnerable to damage from head trauma than younger people are.

Older people have smaller brain volume to begin with, and quite often the circulation of blood within the brain has become less efficient. The brains of older people have a reduced ability to develop new pathways between brain cells to compensate for brain damage.

Damage to brain function after a minor head injury may not show up for several days and may not be recognized by the victim.
