Bullets, bleeds and bangs - brain injury animations:

Brain injury resource site Neuroskills has a nifty page of brain animations, including a selection showing how various types of brain injury occur.

They're a bit clunky in places and the point of injury seems to be illustrated with a small science-fiction-like stellar explosion, but they're genuinely informative and quite fun to watch at times.

They include the effect of a bullet to the head, stroke, shaking injuries, animations highlighting the main anatomical areas, the functioning of healthy and damaged neurons and a few others thrown in for good measure.
