Lateralization01:28

Lateralization

928
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.

Cerebral Hemispheres01:05

Cerebral Hemispheres

1.9K
The human brain, a complex organ, is functionally divided into two cerebral hemispheres—left and right. These hemispheres are interconnected by a structure of paramount importance, the corpus callosum. This substantial bundle of neural fibers is not just a bridge between the hemispheres but a crucial element for the brain's comprehensive functioning. It enables efficient communication between the two hemispheres, allowing each side of the brain to control and receive sensory and motor...

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

3.3K
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory01:14

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory

961
The cerebellum, while traditionally associated with motor control, also plays a crucial role in memory, particularly in procedural memory, which involves learning motor tasks that become automatic through repetition. For example, studies have shown that when the cerebellum is damaged, individuals or animals lose the ability to learn conditioned motor responses, such as the conditioned eye-blink response in classical conditioning experiments with rabbits. This study demonstrates the...

Major Somatic Sensory Pathways01:28

Major Somatic Sensory Pathways

2.3K
Sensory impulses related to touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception from various body parts, such as the limbs, trunk, neck, and posterior head, travel to the cerebral cortex through the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway. The pathway’s name derives from the two white-matter tracts that convey the impulses: the spinal cord's posterior column and the brainstem's medial lemniscus. First-order sensory neurons extend their axons into the spinal cord, forming the...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Functional neurological disorders (FNDs) present diagnostic challenges.
  • Recurrent hemiparesis can mimic organic neurological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of recurrent functional hemiparesis.
  • To highlight diagnostic and management strategies for FNDs.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 19-year-old male with recurrent left hemiparesis.
  • Clinical examination including Hoover's sign and muscle strength assessment.
  • Brain MRI to exclude organic pathology.

Main Results:

  • Normal brain MRI.
  • Hoover's sign and inconsistent muscle strength indicated FND.
  • Full recovery within ten days with physiotherapy.

Conclusions:

  • Early recognition and physiotherapy are crucial for managing functional neurological disorders.
  • FNDs require a multidisciplinary approach for effective treatment.
