A 61 year-old male piano teacher with a long history of alcohol abuse was admitted to the hospital after
suffering a stroke. Now he can’t speak, use his right hand and arm, or walk without assistance. His wife

asks if his inability to speak indicates that he has lost his mental faculties. What explains his specific
symptoms? Was alcohol abuse a contributing factor, and if so, how?
