Cravings
It is common for people to experience cravings following a concussion. Many people crave certain foods, often for specific sweets.

To provide some examples: one of the creators of this website had constant cravings for Samoa Cookie ice cream following her concussion while another craved Oreo cookies and mint chocolate candy.

Although most cravings are food oriented, they can also be attributed to other consumables such as a blend of tobacco or a particular fragrance ( example: lavender scented candle).
