What explains his specific symptoms and was alcohol a contributing factor?
What explains his specific symptoms and was alcohol a contributing factor?
if he continues to drink he can cause permanent memory loss which means he wont be able to play the piano
a stroke is caused when blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced
his cerebellum, temporal lobe and parietal lobe seems to have damage and that is why he cant walk by himself, speak or use his right hand and arm
drinking alcohol can increase your stroke risk to an hr
the symptoms someone may experience vary depending on which part of the rain was affected and the amount of damage that was done
types of strokes
ischemic stroke
stroke where blood clots are stopping flow of blood
embolic
blood clot travels from one part of your body to your brain
thrombotic
a blood clot forming in a vessel
hemorrhagic stroke
fatal stroke that is caused by a vessel that has leaked in the brain
transient ischemic attack
mini stroke or a warning that is caused by temporary blockage of blood flow
regions of the cerebral cortex
occipital lobe
processes visual information
frontal lobe
controls problem solving, planning, regulating emotions, smell, speech and social skills
parietal lobe
touch, tatse, body awareness and timing
cerebellum
cordination
brain stem
regulates the heart, body temp and breathing
temporal lobe
memory, language, hearing and speaking
regions of the diencephalon
thalamus
relaying the sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex
epithalamus/ pineal gland
secretion of melatonin
regulation of emotions
hypothalamus
link between the nervous and endocrine system
regions of the brain
cerebral hemispheres
controls muscle functions
brain stem
coordinates reflexes
connection between brain and spinal cord
breathing
diencephalon
receives and filters sensory information
cerebellum
regulates motor movement
posture, balance, coordination, speech
regions of the brainstem
midbrain
tectum
auditory and visual reflexes
tegmentum
involved in sleep, arousal and attention
cerebral penducles
transport nerve impulses
hindbrain
metencephalon
pons
regulation of breathing and arousal
cerebellum
relays information between muscles and the brain
myelencephalon
medulla oblongata
connects the spinal cord to the higher regions and regulates blood pressure
affects of alcohol on the brain
slows down neurotransmitter GABA
shrinks brain volume
memory loss
wet brain
if he continues to drink he can possibly have another stroke that could kill him
he has also suffered from a left hemisphere stroke and that is where the left side of the brain is affected but it controls the right side of the persons body that is why he cant move his right hand or arm
he might have to take speech classes in order to learn to talk again and physical therapy so he could possibly play the piano again depends on how that goes
