The brain is one of the complex vital organs which participates in the communication and processing of information. It, along with the spinal cord, is part of the central nervous system. Neurons aid brains in communication with other body parts....
But the aftermath of a stroke – as with any condition that occurs in the brain – can impact something less known: mood. If the stroke is in the brain’s right frontal lobe, for example, you may feel “inappropriately euphoric,” while those in the left hemisphere may make...
"What is convincingly crystal-clear from the study is that these patients need to be seeing their heart doctor on an annual basis," Hirsh advised. "ADHD itself is already a risk factor for heart disease; we need to monitor their risk from ADHD and control their other risk factors very rig...
