The brain has many parts. The cerebrum consists of two hemispheres which are responsible for movement, sensation, thought, judgment, problem-solving, and emotion. The brain stem sits beneath the cerebrum and connects it to the spinal cord. The brain stem houses the structures that are responsible...
A lesion is an area of tissue that has been damaged through injury or disease. So abrainlesion is an area of injury or disease within thebrain. While the definition sounds simple, understanding brain lesions can be complicated. That's because there are many types of brain lesions. They can ...
Localizedbrain lesionsand stimulation approaches producing ‘virtual’ lesions may be considered as providing the strongest evidence that the function of a brain region is causally related to a particular behavioral function, if damage to the region indeed disrupts the performance of the respectivebehavior...
Game theoretical mapping of causal interactions underlying visuo-spatial attention in the human brain based on stroke lesions studies conducted in neurological conditions have developed our understanding of the causal relationships between brain lesions and their clinical consequences. The... MN Toba,M Zav...

Cerebral contusionsare traumatic lesions of the brain frequently seen in the cortex and sometimes extending into the underlying white matter (Fig. 11). Fresh contusionhemorrhagesare mostly located on the crests of the gyri and composed of grouped streak-like or punctate blood extravasations. Thecort...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has transformed our understanding of the human brain through well-replicated mapping of abilities to specific structures (for example, lesion studies) and functions1–3 (for example, task functional MRI (fMRI)). Mental he

Can Brain Lesions be normal? While the definition sounds simple, understanding brain lesions can becomplicated. That's because there are many types of brain lesions. They can range from small to large, from few to many, from relatively harmless to life threatening. ...
The effect of ratio on betting behaviour in the four groups of participants: healthy controls, vmPFC lesions, insular cortex lesions and the lesion control group. Furthermore, over the course of the entire gambling task, insular patients suffered significantly more bankrupcies than both the vmPfC ...
