>Why does the brain respond like this to an injury? 
Maybe when cells are gone and signals come in from other places 
the distribution area within the sector they go to 
has less capacities 
and a cluster goes overload to the spreading cramp-pulse-rhythms.

>It would seem that a rational brain
Why would all of the brain be rational?
Odd  thought.

>I suppose its because the brain didn't really evolve to cope with head trauma, 
It did.
Ever wondered  why you have unimportant neocortex areas outside and
your center areas shielded by it?
Also two times I got a headinjury to do with someone, with a delay
eg.3 reacted with "attack-mode", even though one had been  accidental,
and I had to send override commands for something like 6-8 minutes
until it ceased that.
The power of the attack mode was one that felt to have to do with
headinjuries possibly meaning death, and  not the usual reactions.
Sort of a before-death reaction program out for removing the attacker
before  inner damages might spread too much to be able  to do so.
I found that remarkable.
Also after a concussion I felt like lying down and off-lining inside,
keeping very still inside, and there were programs  to do with  the
concussion and reactions that I still noticed over a year later.

The head is very well preparad for many  head  injuries

I also regard  it as  no chance that what I regard  as the two CPUs of
the brain  can to  an extend take over tasks of the other one.

For all I  know  I could turn into a mental veggie and the sequencer
would still find the way to the fridge.

And I can take over some of the sequencer's stuff.

I believe this is also  an additional security system, 
so that if one CPU gets real damaged and/or is off-line a lot for
some reason the other one can take  over  to an extent, for example
the way the sequencer does within many who in the West are called
"autists".

>but rather to be a very flexible, very plastic organ
For me the term plastic and organ seem both wrong.
It's like many organs, the  number of them cooperating also to do with
what you do.
