the Cylons didn't have a monopoly on evil

It's not just that. It's a demonstration of just how angry everyone is, and how deeply the hatred runs. You have to remember, this is now 30,000 people who are the last of several billion (perhaps trillion) human beings, they've lost everything including family, friends, children. Not to mention livelihoods, work, homes. The opportunity to see a member of the race that did this to you is not passed upon lightly.

It also demonstrates just how difficult it is to get everyone on board with the ceasefire later on.

I'm no expert, but IIRC it depends on the inflammation. If the inflammation is synonymous with swelling, it can cause tissue death which is a small part of potential cognitive decline. This is sort of similar to what happens with MS patients. Depending on the severity and frequency of these occurrences, cognitive change can vary from nothing noticeable whatsoever, to distinct personality changes and memory issues. In an MS case I am familiar with, the noticeable change is sense of taste, where the patient's preferred foods change wildly. Bear in mind, that is semi-advanced MS which implies potential other causes and differing symptoms.

In my inexpert opinion, a more pressing concern is monitoring things like hormone levels and glandular activity, since these could have clear and severe physical effects. It should also be considered that old-age decline may progress as if the TBI had never occurred, which includes the possibility of things like early onset dementia, Alzheimer's, and any other number of possible conditions associated with old age. In other words, you are just as likely to live a completely normal and happy life.
