Loss of language production or comprehension - Aphasia Involuntary rapid contractions of muscle groups in random pattern - Chorea Impaired recognition of tactile, visual, or auditory stimuli - Agnosia Involuntary rhythmic, oscillating movement of body part - Tremor Shocklike, nonpatterned muscle contractions causing limb movement; may occur during sleep - Myoclonus Inability to perform purposeful or skilled motor actions - Apraxia Involuntary slow twisting, writhing movements - Athetosis Motor restlessness; compulsion to move lower extremities - Akathisia Damage to cerebellum causes (resting, intention) tremor and (ataxic, shuffling) gait - Intention; ataxic Cheyne-Stokes respirations involve a (hypoventilitory, hyperventilatory) response to stimulation by (carbon dioxide, hypoxia). - Hyperventilatory, carbon dioxide Changes in the pupils are useful to evaluate (cortical, brainstem) function because the areas that control arousal are located (nearby, contralaterally). - Brainstem; nearbyWhen autoregulation of intracranial arterioles fails, small increases in blood volume cause intracranial pressure to rise (minimally, greatly). - Greatly
