Its presence within the first 10 days of a stroke is a stronger predictor of poor functional recovery after one year than several other variables, including hemiparesis, hemianopsia, age, visual memory, verbal memory, and visuoconstructional ability. Neglect is probably among the reasons patients with right hemisphere damage are twice as likely ...
Cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS), also called Schmahmann's syndrome [1] is a condition that follows from lesions (damage) to the cerebellum of the brain. It refers to a constellation of deficits in the cognitive domains of executive function, spatial cognition, language, and affect resulting from damage to the cerebellum.
In this study, constructional apraxia patients drew patterns usually found in children 8 and younger. Gregory argues that ontogenetically and phylogenetically earlier behavioral traits are present in the brain, but inhibited. When these inhibitory mechanisms become compromised, then the childlike behavior patterns re-emerge.
Sharon Stone is sharing how she overcame her 2001 near-fatal stroke and brain hemorrhage, which left her with a “1% chance of survival.” “I walked out of that hospital, 18% of my body mass ...
Foreign accent syndrome usually results from a stroke, [1] but can also develop from head trauma, [1] migraines [2] or developmental problems. [3] The condition might occur due to lesions in the speech production network of the brain, or may also be considered a neuropsychiatric condition . [ 4 ]
Some patients exhibit childlike behavior. [10] Other patients show uncharacteristically quiet, friendly and loving behavior. Although this behavior may seem less threatening because of its lack of aggressiveness, it may be equally worrisome.

Palilalia is defined as the repetition of the speaker's words or phrases, often for a varying number of repeats. Repeated units are generally whole sections of words and are larger than a syllable, with words being repeated the most often, followed by phrases, and then syllables or sounds.
PBA is one of the most frequently reported post-stroke behavioral disorders, with a range of reported prevalence from 28% to 52%. [27] [28] [29] The higher prevalence rates tend to be reported in stroke patients who are older or who have a history of prior stroke.
