Regulates body temperature
Controls production and release of hormones
Maintains daily physiological cycles
Brain stem functions
Midbrain
Eye movement
Visual and auditory information
Pons
Group of nerves that help connect different parts of the brain
Contains start of some cranial nerves
Facial movements and transmitting sensory information
Medulla oblongata

Stroke
Sudden interruption in blood supply of brain
Effects of alcohol on brain
Slurred speech
Impulsive behavior
Poor memory
Slowed reflexes
Blocks chemical signals between brain cells
Stroke
Immediate effects
Impaired speech
restricted physical abilities
Weakness or paralysis of limbs on one side of body
Difficulty gripping things
Slowed ability to communitcate
Mental faculties
More than likely will cause depression
May have anxiety on its own or with depression
Personality and behavioral changes are possible too
Recovery
Rehabilitation increases the likely hood of recovering damaged body and brain functions
May be possible to play piano again
Can take up tp 2 years
Factors on improving or worsening
If patient has
High blood pressure
Leading cause of stroke
High cholesterol
Can build up in brain arteries
Heart disease
Increase risk because plaque can build up and block arteries cutting off flow of oxygen rich blood
Diabetes
Causes sugar to build up in blood preventing oxygen from brain
Sickle cell disease
Sickle cell can get stuck in blood vessels blocking flow of blood
Drinking after stroke
Can cause high blood pressure leading to another stroke
Can interfere with medicine that is being taken
He may not recover fully
Abusing alcohol
