  2. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

    In Tan's autopsy, Broca determined he had a syphilitic lesion in the left cerebral hemisphere. This left frontal lobe brain area (Broca's area) is an important speech production region. The motor aspects of speech production deficits caused by damage to Broca's area are known as expressive aphasia. In clinical assessment of this type of aphasia ...

  3. Brain ischemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_ischemia

    Brain ischemia has been linked to a variety of diseases or abnormalities. Individuals with sickle cell anemia, compressed blood vessels, ventricular tachycardia, plaque buildup in the arteries, blood clots, extremely low blood pressure as a result of heart attack, and congenital heart defects have a higher predisposition to brain ischemia in comparison to the average population.

  4. Hemispatial neglect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispatial_neglect

    For example, a stroke affecting the right parietal lobe of the brain can lead to neglect for the left side of the visual field, causing a patient with neglect to behave as if the left side of sensory space is nonexistent (although they can still turn left). In an extreme case, a patient with neglect might fail to eat the food on the left half ...

  5. Cerebral infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_infarction

    Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [2]

  6. Stroke recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_recovery

    Unlike many effects of stroke, where the clinician is able to judge the particular area of the brain that a stroke has injured by certain signs or symptoms, the causation of apraxia is less clear. A common theory is that the part of the brain that contains information for previously learned skilled motor activities has been either lost or ...

  7. Lateral medullary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_medullary_syndrome

    Lateral medullary syndrome is a neurological disorder causing a range of symptoms due to ischemia in the lateral part of the medulla oblongata in the brainstem.The ischemia is a result of a blockage most commonly in the vertebral artery or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. [1]

  8. Lacunar stroke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacunar_stroke

    Pure sensory stroke: contralateral thalamus , internal capsule, corona radiata, midbrain Marked by numbness (loss of sensation) on one side of the body; can later develop tingling, pain, burning, or another unpleasant sensation on one side of the body. Mixed sensorimotor stroke: thalamus and adjacent posterior internal capsule, lateral pons

  9. Disconnection syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disconnection_syndrome

    Fibers in the anterior commissure control the olfactory regions in each hemisphere. A patient who lacks an anterior commissure cannot name odors entering the right nostril or use the right hand to pick up the object corresponding to the odor because the left hemisphere, responsible for language and controlling the right hand, is disconnected ...
