Case: A 61 year-old male piano teacher with a long history of alcohol…

- - - - Vertigo, like the room is spinning, Imbalance, 1-side ar or leg weakness
        
        Slurred speech or dysarthria, Double vision, headache, nausea
    - - Arm Weakness
        
        Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
      - Speech difficults
        
        You have trouble expressing or understanding speech
      - Facial Drops
        
        One side of the face droops or feels numb.
      - Time
        
        If you experience any of the symptoms above, call emergency services.
- - - - sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain.
        
        caused by an abrupt blockage of arteries leading to the brain
    - - Intracerebral Hemorrhage
        
        An intracerebral hemorrhage is a type of stroke caused by the sudden rupture of an artery within the brain. Blood is then released into the brain compressing brain structures.
      - Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
        
        A subarachnoid hemorrhage is also a type of stroke caused by the sudden rupture of an artery. A subarachnoid hemorrhage differs from an intracerebral hemorrhage in that the location of the rupture leads to blood filling the space surrounding the brain rather than inside of it.
      - Ischemic stroke
        
        The most common type of stroke, accounting for almost 80 percent of all strokes, is caused by a clot or other blockage within an artery leading to the brain.
  - - - Cerebellum is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance.
      - Brainstem: acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord.
      - Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres.
    - - Parietal
        
        nterprets language, words
        Sense of touch, pain, temperature (sensory strip)
      - Occipital
        
        Interprets vision (color, light, movement)
      - Frontal
        
        Personality, behavior, emotions
        Judgment, planning, problem solving
      - Temporal
        
        Understanding language (Wernicke’s area), Memory, Hearing,Sequencing and organization
    - - composed of
        
        2 lateral ventricles
        
        the third ventricle
        
        the cerebral aqueduct,
        
        the fourth ventricle
    - - White matter
        
        found in the deeper tissues of the brain
        
        nerve fibers are surrounded by a type of sheath or covering called myelin (which gave it the color white)
      - Grey matter
        
        found on the surface of the brain
        
        Doesn't have myelin
  - - - blood and body tissue begin to absorb the extra alcohol, and euphoria turns to depression.
        
        occipital lobe, temporal lobe and frontal lobe are all responsible for some of the deficits you experience
        
        The parietal lobe, which processes sensory information, is also affected, causing loss of fine motor skills and a slower reaction time.
        
        cerebellumis impacted. As a result, you may need help walking or standing
        
        hippocampus, the region of the brain that is responsible for making new memories, functioning improperly.
