Frontal Lobe Stroke The effects of a stroke differ depending on which region of the brain is involved. The brain's frontal lobe is relatively large and it controls many important functions in everyday life. A frontal lobe stroke can cause a variety of symptoms and long term effects which range from weakness to lack of motivation.

Frontal Lobe Stroke The frontal lobe of the brain controls movement of the opposite side of the body. A stroke that causes weakness (hemiparesis) or paralysis (hemiplegia) may produce obvious arm or leg weakness, but it can also cause any of the following symptoms as well. Compulsive mimicking of facial gestures made by others.

Brain Stem Stroke Complications of brain stem stroke A brain stem stroke can cause you to lose your sense of smell and taste. About 1 percent of people who have had a stroke experience psychosis in the form of hallucinations or delusions.

- This kind of stroke may be caused by an aneurysm (a bubble in the artery wall) that bursts or by a condition called arterial venous malformation, a tangle of abnormal blood vessels in the brain that may bleed due to the fragility of the vessel structure.

Bright Hub Education written by: Sylvia Cini • edited by: Elizabeth Stannard Gromisch • updated: 6/6/2012. Cells constantly move materials in and out of your body using one of two methods of transportation. They do this to ensure that harmful waste is removed and nutrients are delivered where needed. Every time a cut heals or you get pruney fingers in the tub, you've got cell transport to thank.

Aphasia, Alexia, and Agraphia A traumatic brain injury resulting from a motor vehicle accident, sports injury, combat, or other injury may also cause aphasia. A traumatic brain injury typically results in wider spread brain injury than what is seen following a stroke.

Brain Stem Stroke Aside from blood clots, an arterial dissection can also cause an ischemic stroke. An arterial dissection is a tear in an artery that supplies blood to the brain. As a result of the tear, blood can accumulate within the arterial vessel wall and cause obstruction of blood flow.

Frontal-lobe damage from alcohol may occur before general mental status challenges FULL STORY. Frontal lobe deficiency, characterized by executive dysfunction such as deficits in attention and working memory, has been linked with an inability to abstain from alcohol. However, high-functioning alcoholics with frontal executive dysfunction may nonetheless appear to have a normal cognitive mental status.

Frontal lobe injury The portion in color is the left frontal lobe, damaged in Phineas Gage's accident. The frontal lobe of the human brain is both relatively large in mass and less restricted in movement than the posterior portion of the brain. It is a component of the cerebral system, which supports goal directed behavior.

Stroke and the Pons Region of the Brain Causes of a Stroke Involving the Pons. A stroke involving the pons can be caused by either a blood clot (ischemic stroke) or a bleed (hemorrhagic stroke.) An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot forms, blocking the blood flow through an artery to a certain region in the brain.

Temporal Lobes Right temporal damage can cause a loss of inhibition of talking. The temporal lobes are highly associated with memory skills. Left temporal lesions result in impaired memory for verbal material. Right side lesions result in recall of non-verbal material, such as music and drawings.Seizures of the temporal lobe can have dramatic effects on an individual's personality.Temporal lobe epilepsy can cause perseverative speech, paranoia and aggressive rages (Blumer and Benson, 1975). Severe damage to the temporal lobes can also alter sexual behavior (e.g. increase in activity) (Blumer and Walker, 1975).ight temporal damage can cause a loss of inhibition of talking. The temporal lobes are highly associated with memory skills. Left temporal lesions result in impaired memory for verbal material. Right side lesions result in recall of non-verbal material, such as music and drawings.

The Effects of an Occipital Lobe Stroke An occipital lobe stroke is a stroke that affects the back of the brain. The occipital lobe is the area of the brain that integrates our vision, allowing us to recognize and make sense of what our eyes see. In general, occipital lobe stroke are not common. This is because the blood supply to the occipital lobe is made up of arteries that are arranged in a unique way. These arteries are called the vertebral arteries, the posterior cerebral arteries and the basilar arteries.

The Frontal Lobe of the Human Brain Causes of Frontal Lobe Damage. As is the case with other traumatic brain injuries, damage to the frontal lobe most often occurs as a result of vehicle crashes, falls, and firearms. Taking steps to enhance your safety and that of your environment could save you or a loved one a lifetime of the added stress that accompanies traumatic brain injuries.

Frontal Lobe Damage As a result of a brain injury, frontal lobe damage may impair your attention span, motivation, judgment, and organizational capacity.. Because your emotions are affected, the symptoms you experience from frontal lobe damage may manifest causing you to become impulsive or assume risky behaviors.

- Frontal lobe disorder is an impairment of the frontal lobe that occurs due to disease or head trauma.[1] The frontal lobe of the brain plays a key role in higher mental functions such as motivation, planning, social behaviour, and speech production.

Effects of Stroke Effects of Stroke. The effects of a Stroke typically depend on the extent of the brain damage and where in the brain the Stroke occurred. The brain is divided into four primary parts: left hemisphere, right hemisphere, cerebellum and brain stem, and each area has a responsibility for a particular function or ability. Left-Hemisphere Stroke.

Frontal lobe seizures Frontal lobe seizures, or frontal lobe epilepsy, may be caused by abnormalities — such as tumors, stroke, infection or traumatic injuries — in the brain's frontal lobes. Frontal lobe seizures are also associated with a rare inherited disorder called autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. If one of your parents has this form of frontal lobe epilepsy, you have a 50 percent chance of inheriting this abnormal gene that causes this disorder and developing the disease yourself.

Cerebrovascular Accident  (Stroke) Stroke (Cerebrovascular Accident). A stroke occurs if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a portion of the brain is blocked. Without oxygen, brain cells start to die after a few minutes. Sudden bleeding in the brain also can cause a stroke if it damages brain cells.PubMed Health Glossary.

- Frontal lobe damage is most often the result of an injury caused by a fall, gunshot, or car accident. Although frontal lobe damage may be permanent, treatment and rehabilitation can enable you to regain a degree of prior functioning.

- Frontal lobe syndrome is a brain disorder that is usually caused by physical damage to the front of the brain. Severe head trauma, infections, strokes, and certain chronic disorders can all impair the delicate nerve connections and tissue in a section of the frontal lobe.

Frontal lobe injury Frontal lobe injury. The frontal lobe of the human brain is both relatively large in mass and less restricted in movement than the posterior portion of the brain. It is a component of the cerebral system, which supports goal directed behavior. This lobe is often cited as the part of the brain responsible for the ability to decide between good and bad choices, as well as recognize the consequences of different actions. Because of its location in the anterior part of the head, the frontal lobe is arguably more suscept

- Hemorrhagic Stroke. Sudden bleeding in the brain can cause a hemorrhagic stroke. The bleeding causes swelling of the brain and increased pressure in the skull. The swelling and pressure damage brain cells and tissues. Examples of conditions that can cause a hemorrhagic stroke include high blood pressure, aneurysms, and arteriovenous (ar-TEER-e-o-VE-nus) malformations (AVMs).

Symptoms of Stroke The right hemisphere of the brain controls the movement of the left side of the body so stroke in the right hemisphere often causes paralysis in the left side of the body. This is known as left hemiplegia. Survivors of right-hemisphere strokes may also have problems with their spatial and perceptual abilities.

Effects of Stroke A Stroke in the left hemisphere of the brain may cause: 1  Paralysis on the right side of the body (right hemiplegia) 2  Aphasia (a term for a wide range of speech and language problems) 3  Memory problems, such as shortened attention spans, difficulty in learning new information.  Problems with concept and generalization.
