Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 29RQ
Mr. Andersen, a stroke patient, experiences expressive aphasia. His savvy therapist, Cheryl, teaches him to sing to communicate his needs. What signs did he exhibit before therapy? How do you know he did not have receptive aphasia? Using what you have learned about cerebral lateralization, hypothesize why singing worked for him.

A client who experienced a left-sided stroke arrives at a clinic with his wife for a follow-up visit. The wife asks the nurse why her husband’s right side is paralyzed when he suffered a stroke on his left side.
a. How would the nurse answer this client’s wife?
b. What is the underlying explanation for this effect related
to the injury on the client’s left side of the brain?

a. Difficulty learning new facts
b. Difficulty describing a recent event
c. Difficulty remembering a new face or place
d. Difficulty recalling a childhood memory
e. Difficulty learning a new vocabulary word
A patient with a brain injury can understand questions the doctor asks, and can respond by nodding their head as "yes" or "no". But when they try to speak, they struggle to form words and cannot speak coherently. These symptoms suggest the patient has injury to which part of the brain?
Group of answer choices

- Following a stroke Dr. Z was unable to recognize the members of his family when shown their portrait. It was different when he was in their physical presence, because then if he heard them speak or saw them move in particular ways he could identify them. Where is the most likely site of brain damage? Question 3 options: A) Ventral pathway from V1 to the fusiform gyrus B) Ventral pathway from V1 to amygdala C) Dorsal pathway from V1 to motor cortex D) Primary visual (V1) cortexarrow_forwardYour patient has suffered a CVA (cerebral vascular accident) also known as a stroke. Damage to the left hemisphere was the primary effect. Considering the lobes of the brain and lateralization, answer the following questions: 1. Is there a difference between the areas and/or lobes of the cerebrum considering function? 2. Would speech be affected with damage to the left hemisphere? Why or why not. Be sure to detail your answer. 3. Describe the arterial supply of the cerebrum. Which blood vessel might be the culprit in the damage to the left hemisphere ?arrow_forwardimagine that you are a neurologist. A patient has come to you with a cognitive deficit in their ability to name objects. Describe a brain activity recording technique you would use (e.g., PET, fMRI) and the brain area you would focus on (e.g., occipital lobe, temporal lobe) to determine if they have brain damage in an area that is important for this ability. You must name and describe the specific recording technique.arrow_forward
