Damage to any region of the cerebral cortex is typically caused by tumors, autoimmune diseases, bleeding in your brain, or a stroke. Symptoms of possible damage depend on the affected region.

Seizures. Some seizure disorders are caused by damage to or a malformation in the brain's frontal lobe. Seizures affect your motor abilities and speech.

In addition, it is now known that cerebellar damage often results in deficits in higher-order behavioral functions, such as difficulty with language and visuo-spatial cognition (Schmahmann, 2019).

The task is typically directed by a part of the brain called the primary motor cortex, which is involved in physical coordination. Then they gave the mice mild strokes that damaged this motor cortex.

The patient’s neurocognitive disorders coincide with those widely reported in the literature and correlate with damage to the anterior zone of the cingulate cortex which is closely and directly ...

Well, besides the motor cortex, according to the study other parts of the brain involved with learning new actions and understanding language also get revved up when we read action verbs.

The prefrontal cortex also affects your personality. A historical example of what happens when a person’s prefrontal cortex is damaged occurred in the mid-1800s. When railroad worker Phineas Gage’s ...
