        Ischemic stroke: often cause permanent losses while a variant of ischemic type of stroke causes transient function loss (termed mini-strokes or transient ischemic attacks).
        
        hemorrhagic strokes often cause permanent losses while a variant of ischemic type of stroke causes transient function loss (termed mini-strokes or transient ischemic attacks).
        
        occur when the wall of a blood vessel becomes weak and blood leaks out into the brain.
        
        Treatment: is designed to stop or prevent bleeding into brain tissue
        
        occur when a blood vessel gets so narrow or clogged that not enough blood can get through to supply oxygen and keep the brain cells alive.
        
        Treatment is designed to break up or get rid of the blockage

- - - - motor cortex, which is involved in planning and coordinating movement
  - - - occipital lobe: is located at the very back of the brain, and contains the primary visual cortex, which is responsible for interpreting incoming visual information.
        
        Function: Interprets vision (color, light, movement)
      - Function: Interpets language,words, Sense of touch, pain, temperature (sensory strip),Interprets signals from vision, hearing, motor, sensory and memory Spatial and visual perception
        
        It contains the somatosensory cortex, which is essential for processing sensory information from across the body, such as touch, temperature, and pain.
    - - auditory cortex, the main area responsible for processing auditory information, is located within the temporal lobe.
        
        Wernicke’s area, important for speech comprehension, is also located here.
