  2. Frontal lobe disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe_disorder

    Frontal lobe syndrome can be caused by a range of conditions including head trauma, tumours, neurodegenerative diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, neurosurgery and cerebrovascular disease. Frontal lobe impairment can be detected by recognition of typical signs and symptoms, use of simple screening tests, and specialist neurological testing.

  3. Hypofrontality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypofrontality

    Mostly in the frontal cortex, these differences often stem from a smaller brain volume, and the decreased blood flow that results influences the hypofrontality. [9] It has not been determined if the reduction of the frontal cortex is the ultimate cause of the symptoms, or if the condition worsens as the symptoms develop.

  4. Focal neurologic signs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_neurologic_signs

    Frontal lobe signs usually involve the motor system and may include many special types of deficit, depending on which part of the frontal lobe is affected: [citation needed] unsteady gait (unsteadiness in walking) muscular rigidity, resistance to passive movements of the limbs

    Korsakoff psychosis typically follows after the symptoms of Wernicke's decrease. [29] [30] Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is typically caused by conditions causing thiamine deficiency, such as chronic heavy alcohol use or by conditions that affect nutritional absorption, including colon cancer, eating disorders and gastric bypass. [29]

  6. Frontotemporal dementia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontotemporal_dementia

    An overlap between symptoms can occur as the disease progresses and spreads through the brain regions. [14] Structural MRI scans often reveal frontal lobe and/or anterior temporal lobe atrophy, but in early cases the scan may seem normal. Atrophy can be either bilateral or asymmetric. [13]

  7. Cerebral atrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_atrophy

    - Medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) - Posterior atrophy (PA) - Frontal cortical atrophy (fGCA) CT and MRI are most commonly used to observe the brain for cerebral atrophy. A CT scan takes cross sectional images of the brain using X-rays, while an MRI uses a magnetic field. With both measures, multiple images can be compared to see if there is ...

  8. Akinetic mutism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akinetic_mutism

    Akinetic mutism can occur in the frontal region of the brain and occurs because of bilateral frontal lobe damage. Akinetic mutism as a result of frontal lobe damage is clinically characterized as hyperpathic. [5] It occurs in patients with bilateral circulatory disturbances in the supply area of the anterior cerebral artery. [2]

  9. Frontal lobe injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe_injury

    Following a frontal lobe injury, an individual's abilities to make good choices and recognize consequences are often impaired. Memory impairment is another common effect associated with frontal lobe injuries, but this effect is less documented and may or may not be the result of flawed testing. [ 3 ]
