Broca's aphasia is a specific type of expressive aphasia and is so named due to the aphasia that results from damage or lesions to the Broca's area of the brain, that exists most commonly in the left inferior frontal hemisphere. Thus, the aphasia that develops from the lack of functioning of the Broca's area is an expressive and non-fluent aphasia.
Activity in the right hemisphere was greater in women when exposed to unpleasant images than men, though men showed more activation bilaterally while viewing pleasant pictures. [ n 8 ] Another study found that women but not men, with women had greater activation of their right hemisphere while viewing unpleasant faces and left hemisphere ...
Hemispatial neglect is a neuropsychological condition in which, after damage to one hemisphere of the brain (e.g. after a stroke), a deficit in attention and awareness towards the side of space opposite brain damage (contralesional space) is observed.
Gerstmann syndrome is typically associated with damage to the inferior parietal lobule of the dominant hemisphere. It is classically considered a left-hemisphere disorder, although right-hemisphere damage has also been associated with components of the syndrome. [2] It is named after Jewish Austrian-born American neurologist Josef Gerstmann. [3]
The left and right hemispheres operate the contralateral sides of the body. Each hemisphere contains sections of all 4 lobes: the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. The two hemispheres are separated along the mediated longitudinal fissure and are connected by the corpus callosum which allows for communication and ...
Somatosensory – If the two hemispheres are disconnected, the somatosensory functions of the left and right parts of the body become independent. For example, when something is placed on the left hand of a blindfolded patient with the two hemispheres disconnected, the left hand can pick the correct object within a set of objects but the right ...
Ultra-detailed MRI scans reveal brain damage in severe COVID-19 ... the authors of the new study explain that to cause damage to the brainstem, the virus does not need to directly enter the brain ...
The damage leaves the major language networks, Broca's and Wernicke’s areas and the arcuate fasiculus, unaffected. [1] Brain injury can result from a stroke caused by left anterior cerebral artery (ACA) occlusion, [6] brain tumors, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or progressive neurological disorders. [8]
