- - - - broca's area is about talking and creating speech
      - hell need speech therapy
    - - husband will need stroke therapy

      - Cerebral Hemispheres
        
        collectively known as the cereburm, outer layer of brain

      - Cerebellum
        
        Large Bulge with different ridge patterns on the inferior posterior part of the brain, proximal to the mid brain
    - - parietal
        
        middle part
        
        lobe areas
        
        somatosensory association cortex
        
        primary somatosensory cortex
        
        posterior association area
      - temporal
        
        located underneath ears, side of brain
        
        lobe areas
        
        auditory areas
        
        vestibular cortex
        
        olfactory cortex
        
        gustatory cortex
        
        visceral sensory area
        
        posterior association area
      - frontal
        
        anterior part of brain
        
        The frontal lobe has areas that do certain actions
        
        premotor cortex
        
        broca's area
        
        primary motor cortex
        
        frontal eye field

        posterior association area
  - - - Ischemic Stroke
        
        abrupt blockage of arteries leading to the brain
      - Hemorrhagic Stroke
        
        Bleeding into brain tissue when a blood vessel bursts
      - can be called a brain attack
    - - the effects of a stroke depend on which part of the brain is injured and how severely it is injured
      - Effects can vary from person to person
        
        loss of sensation
        
        difficulty speaking
        
        sudden weakness
        
        difficulty walking
        
        difficulty seeing
        
        The area surrounding the stroke center is what is affected
        
        this is why effects vary so much
        
        many areas of the brain can be affected and each area has different symptoms and outcomes
        
        sudden and severe headache
  - - - heavy drinkers have slowed nt response
      - this causes them to overactivate in alcoholics
      - neurons overreacting too much can just burn out and die
      - this causes noticeable slowed reactions
      - brain matter shrinks, both gray and white
      - immediate symptoms of intoxication
        
        slurred speech
        
        poor memory
        
        impulsive behavior
        
        slowed reflexes
      - Alcohol and Strokes
        
        Alcohol increases risk of stroke
        
        overweight
        
        atrial fibrillation
        
        diabetes
        
        liver damage
        
        high blood pressure
        
        causes hemmoraghic stroke
        
        causes bleeding in the brain
      - many alcoholics develop brain disorders and other cognitive issues
