Both lesions and tumors in the brain represent abnormal areas, but they are not the same. A lesion is a broad term that refers to any abnormal tissue or damage in the brain, whereas a tumor, is a specific type of lesion, characterized by the abnormal growth of cells. All tumors are le...
Read more on the symptoms and types of cerebral palsy. 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...

Here we instead propose that Capgras and other delusional misidentification syndromes arise from single lesions at unique locations within the human brain connectome. This hypothesis is motivated by evidence that symptoms emerge from sites functionally connected to a lesion location, not just the lesion ...
spontaneous brain lesions can improve pre-existing symptoms, which is referred to as paradoxical functional facilitation. Iatrogenic brain lesions can provide similar functional benefit. Both types of lesions have helped lead to identification ofdeep brain stimulationtargets. However, paradoxical functional ...
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 ...
sequelae of the traumatic brain and other types of neuropsychiatric diseases such as epilepsy, dementia, PTSD and depression, it is difficult to distinguish the sequelae of brain injury from other brain functional disorders by the clinical symptoms alone, and this will be explained in detail below....
Location and severity of the lesions correlate with clinical symptoms • Brain stem: death usually (respiration and cardiac centers) • Cortical lesions: mental retardation,cerebral palsy, epilepsy • Thalamus:persistent vegetative state • ...
Given that the action of EE on brain plasticity is multi-factorial, reducing intracerebral inhibition,71 increasing histone acetylation89 and enhancing neurotrophin expression,26 it may be particularly efficacious in delaying the progression and/or in ameliorating the symptoms of those neurological ...
