Peyton felt strange when she awoke one morning. She could not hold a pen in her right hand when trying to write an entry in her diary, and her muscles were noticeably weaker on the right side of her body. Additionally, her husband noticed that she was slurring her speech, so he took her to the emergency room. What does the ER physician suspect has occurred? Where in the brain might the physician suspect that abnormal activity or perhaps a lesion is located, and why?
When a patient flexes their neck, the head tips to the right side. Also, their tongue sticks out slightly to the left when they try to stick it straight out. Where is the damage to the brain stem most likely located? Are any of the cranial nerves involved? If so, which ones?
If a blood clot blocked a cerebral blood vessel supplying a small region of the right cerebral cortex just in front of the central sulcus in the deep groove between the hemispheres, what symptoms might result?
