GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Damage to the frontal lobes can affect one or more of the functions of this area of your brain. An injury, stroke, infection, or neurodegenerative disease most often causes damage to the frontal lobes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The brain stem controls basic body functions like breathing, sweating, and consciousness. Therefore, common changes caused by a brain stem stroke include coma, difficulty breathing, and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), among other secondary effects.

Detailed explanation-3: -Understanding Frontal Lobe Stroke The frontal lobe is the biggest lobe of the brain and plays a role in many different functions. Therefore, a stroke in the frontal lobe can result in a wide variety of side effects including hemiparesis or hemiplegia, cognitive deficits, ataxia, and speech-language impairments.

Detailed explanation-4: -A dominant frontal lobe stroke affects a stroke survivor’s ability to produce fluent speech and can result in a choppy speech pattern, sometimes with normal or nearly normal language comprehension. This speech pattern characteristic of a dominant-sided frontal lobe stroke is called Broca’s aphasia.

Detailed explanation-5: -The frontal lobes are important for voluntary movement, expressive language and for managing higher level executive functions. Executive functions refer to a collection of cognitive skills including the capacity to plan, organise, initiate, self-monitor and control one’s responses in order to achieve a goal.
