Tumors can grow and press on other parts of the brain, potentially causing various symptoms depending on their location and size. Unlike some other types of lesions, tumors are defined by the growth of cells that form a mass. The diagnosis of a brain lesion begins with the health care pract...
Multiple sclerosis(MS):With this condition, the immune system attacks and damages the nerve linings (myelin) in the brain and spinal cord. These lesions make it difficult for messages to be sent and received properly between the brain and the rest of the body. Learn more about thesymptoms of...
In an independent analysis, 29 lesions and 95 stimulation sites converged on a distinct circuit for motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (P < 0.05). We conclude that lesions, transcranial magnetic stimulation and DBS converge on common brain circuitry that may represent improved ...
Several observations support the hypothesis that differences in synaptic and regional cerebral plasticity between the sexes account for the high ratio of males to females in autism. First, males are more susceptible than females to perturbations in genes

takes place and a projectile enters (or the head violently hits an object) impacting brain tissue (brain parenchyma). TBIs can range from mild concussion to severe TBIs and the resulting symptoms depend on the extent of the damage to the brain and other parameters as noted above (Hayden et...
Separation, ending a significant relationship or death of loved one is categorised as affective loss. While transient subclinical symptoms of anxiety and depression might be present initially, many studies have demonstrated long-term clinical effects as well, referred to as prolonged grief disorder (PG...

Sexual divergence of developmental trajectories also suggests that the plastic reaction happens in different regions in boys and girls, resulting in a different autistic phenotype in men and women. This explains why males and females may be diagnosed according to different symptoms and/or using differe...
