Temporal lobe epilepsy can result from physical defects, injuries, or conditions that alter electrical activity in the temporal lobes. Symptoms vary, but most people can manage their condition with medication. Diagnosis involves EEG and MRI scans, and treatment depends on the cause. Temporal lobe epilepsy can refer to many different types of seizure disorders that […]
Frontal lobe degeneration causes atrophy of the frontal lobes of the brain, leading to behavioral changes, social skill problems, and movement disorders. It can be caused by various conditions and may be mistaken for Alzheimer’s or mental illness. Treatment may help halt the degeneration, and therapy can improve coordination and coping techniques. Prognosis varies, with […]
Frontal lobe injuries can be caused by traumatic brain injury, disease, tumors, drug or alcohol abuse. Symptoms vary from poor impulse control to difficulty speaking and forming words. Treatment involves a range of medical professionals, and some patients may require hospitalization. Causes of injury include traumatic brain injury, disease, and drug abuse. Frontal lobe injuries […]
Temporal lobe epilepsy causes seizures in the temporal lobe of the brain, with symptoms including confusion, hallucinations, anxiety, and uncontrolled movements. Simple and complex partial seizures can occur, with the latter causing loss of awareness. Diagnosis involves brain visualization and patient history, and treatment involves managing triggers and medication. Seek medical attention for persistent or […]
Frontal lobe brain damage affects motor control, self-awareness, planning, and behavior. Damage to the primary motor cortex can cause paralysis on the opposite side of the body. Broca’s area controls speech and damage can cause Broca’s aphasia. Patients may also have problems with spontaneity and altering strategies. A loss of self-awareness and planning difficulty are […]
Frontal lobe syndrome is caused by physical damage to the front of the brain, resulting in personality changes and thinking impairment. Diagnosis involves imaging tests and psychological evaluations, and treatment options are limited to behavior therapy and family support. Empathy and support from loved ones are crucial for patients. Frontal lobe syndrome is a brain […]
Lobe pumps use two rotors with three lobes each to create sealed pockets that transport material from inlet to outlet. They are gentle and can pump solids, suspensions, and certain fluids. A lobe pump is a positive displacement pump that has a pair of lobe rotors that rotate within a tight fitting, sealed casing. Rotors […]
The occipital lobe, responsible for vision, can be injured by automobile accidents, blunt force trauma, strokes, and gunshots. Rear-end car crashes and motorcycle accidents are particularly bad, while soccer players are at risk due to head-to-head contact. Strokes cause visual hallucinations and blindness, while gunshot wounds often result in long-term damage. A region located towards […]
Temporal lobe attacks, caused by scarring or weakness in the brain’s emotional center, can cause mild seizures with symptoms like phantom smells, disorientation, and speech problems. Half of those affected experience auras before an attack. These attacks can escalate into grand mal seizures, which are more dangerous. Diagnosis is done through electronic and magnetic methods, […]
