Frontal Lobe

Function: The frontal lobe is responsible for higher level cognitive functions such as problem solving, decision making, planning and personality. It also controls voluntary muscle movements and speech production.

Effects of a stroke: A stroke affecting the frontal lobe can lead to difficulty with decision making and problem solving, changes in personality and weakness or paralysis on the opposite side of the body.

Parietal Lobe:

Function: The parietal lobe processes sensory information such as spatial orientation, touch and temperature. It also plays a role in language comprehension and mathematical abilities.

Effects of Stroke: A stroke in the parietal lobe can cause sensory deficits, such as tingling, numbness or difficulty with spatial awareness. It can also lead to difficulty with language comprehension and mathematical tasks.

Occipital Lobe

Function: The occipital lobe is responsible for processing visual information and interpreting what we see.

Effect of stroke: A stroke in the occipital lobe can result in vision loss or changes, such as visual field deficits, blindness in one or both eyes or difficulty recognising objects or faces.

Cerebellum:

Function: The cerebellum controls balance, coordination and muscle movement. It also plays a role in motor learning and cognitive functions.

Effects of stroke: A stroke in the cerebellum can lead to problems with balance, coordination and fine motor skills. this can result in difficulty walking, tremors and dizziness.

Brain Stem:

Function: The brain stem controls the basic bodily functions such as swallowing, breathing and heart rate. It also serves as a relay stations for sensory and motor information traveling between the brain and the rest of the body.

Effects of Stroke: A stroke in the brain stem can be life threatening as it can disrupt vital functions like a heart rate and breathing. This can lead to difficulty with balance, coordination and swallowing.

Temporal Lobe

Function: Involved in processing memory, emotion, auditory information and language comrephension.

Effects of Stroke: A stroke affecting the temporal lobe can result in hearing difficulties, emotional changes, memory loss and language impairments. This can lead to difficulty understanding speech, recalling information and speaking.
