first 3 week slides

broca’s area function

expressive language and speech production

deficit of broca’s impact on communication

difficulty communicating, apraxia of speech, word finding, semantics, syntax, articulation and prosody

wernicke’s area function

receptive language and language comprehension

deficit of wernicke’s impact on communication

not able to understand spoken language at the sentence and conversation level

cerebellum function

balance, movement, coordination of voluntary movements

deficit of cerebellum’s impact on communication

impaired conversation skills based on balance

primary motor cortex function

receives motor movement impulses and sends them to muscles (to move and speak)

deficit of primary motor cortex on communication

speech production deficits

frontal lobe function

primary motor cortex, higher level and executive fucntioning. personality and behavior. working memory

frontal lobe - deficit impact on communication

deficits in conversation, pragmatics, social communication

parietal lobe function

sensory integration and perception

parietal lobe - deficit impact on communication

can’t interpret and communicate sensory information

temporal lobe

hearing, encoding, long term memory, wernickes- language comprehension, auditory system

temporal lobe - deficit impact on communication

ability to comprehend language would be impaired

occipital lobe - deficit impact on communication

difficulty with facial recognition and written communication, impacts how we present and evaluate stimuli,

most common cause of aphasia

stroke

what percent of strokes are ischemic?

90%

what percent of strokes are hemorrhagic?

10%

cause of stroke - atherosclerosis

build up of matters (fatty acids, cholesterol and cellular debris) within arteries

most common cause of stroke

atherosclerosis

stroke cause - structural

stroke cause by genetically based factors - structural abnormalities in the blood supply (aneurysms)

stroke cause - hematological

genetically based predisposing factors such as hematological pathologies like hemophilia and sickle cell anemia

stroke cause - metabolic

genetically based predisposing factors - metabolic dysfunctions (type 1 diabetes)

ischemic stroke

blocked blood vessel

hemorrhagic stroke

blood vessel rupture or bleed

type of ischemic stroke

thrombotic and embolic

embolic stroke

blockage that builds up over time

intracerebral stroke

blockage that travels from different areas to the brain
