Hemorrhagic Stroke A hemorrhagic stroke is the sudden death of brain tissue that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts (ruptures). When this happens, certain areas of the brain do not get enough oxygen, and blood builds up and presses on certain areas of the brain (hemorrhage). Lack of oxygen and pressure from hemorrhaging can lead to brain damage. There are two types of hemorrhagic stroke, depending on where bleeding occurs. If bleeding occurs within the brain tissue, the…

lost or impaired secondary to cerebrovascular accidents, brain jury, neurological impairment, etc. For instance, lesions in Broca’s area are associated with nonfluent aphasia characterized by jargon, nonsensical words, and phrases when attempting to speak. In addition, lesions in Wernicke’s area are associated with fluent aphasia, which is characterized by retained function words and fluent but empty-sound speech with loss of content words. Furthermore, a growing body of evidence emphasizes…

The 1983 study by Zihl, Von Cramon and Mai investigates motion blindness, or akinetopsia. The patient suffering with this disorder had a very limited perception of visual motion, motion in depth, apparent motion and did not see motion after effects. Brain damage, specifically bilateral, posterior brain damage, can sometimes result in disturbed perception of color and, as in the case of L.M., motion. More specifically, the area that was damaged was assumed to be the posterior part of the middle…

Jimmie G’s problem is that he has anterograde explicit declarative amnesia. He cannot make any new memories, meaning his explicit memory, or his ability to consciously recollect memories, is only good for memories made before his injury presumably. His declarative memory is also damaged, as evidenced by his inability to remember the correct year and his inability to recognize that he is no longer 19. He can still access his implicit memory as evidenced by the fact that he remembers the routine…
