Stroke Risk Factors Age
Gender (men >women)
Genetics
Stroke Primary Prevention Tobacco cessation
Blood pressure reduction
Stroke Secondary Prevention Prevention of another stroke
Targets treatment for change once disease
is
present i.e. Blood Pressure control, LDL
control,
recognition of S/S stroke
Frontal Lobe Functions Regulates personality and affect
Impulsivity and judgement
Abstract thinking
Conjugate eye movements
Frontal Lobe Precentral Gyrus AKA Motor Strip
Broca's area: Articulation, speed and
rhythm of
speech
,Parietal Lobe Functions Somatosensory cortex:
Interpretation of: Pain, temperature, light
touch,
vibration, two-point discrimination,
proprioception
Wernicke's area located in Temporal lobe
responsible for understanding spoken
language
Occiptal lobe Functions: Vision
The right half of the occiptal lobe interprets
information received from the right half of
both
the right and left eyes (and vice versa)
Cerebrum Made up of Basial ganglia and Limbic
system
Basial ganglia Coordinates movement
Limbic system Amygdala, Cingulate gyrus, Hippocampus
Amygdala and Cingulate gyrus Memory and emotion
Diencephalong Thalmus, Hypothalmus, Pituitary and
pineal gland
, Thalamus Receives input from cerebral cortex and
acts as
relay center
Hypothalamus Hunger
Thirst
Autonomic functions
Endocrine functions
Pituitary and pineal gland Hormonal modulation
Sleep-wake cycle
Spinothalamic Tract An ascending pathway of the spinal cord. It
is
responsible for the transmission of pain,
temperature, and crude touch to the
somatosensory region of the thalamus.
Corticospinal tract A descending tract of the spinal cord which
contains bundles of axons which originate
in the
cerebral cortex and descend to synapse
within
the brainstem or spinal cord. The neurons
are
called "upper motor neurons".
Cerebellum Coordination of motor function:
Rapid alternating movements
Balance and Position sense
Brain Stem Medulla, Midbrain, Pons
