A patient has suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that has caused dysfunction of the precentral gyrus of his right cerebral cortex. As a result, (a) he cannot voluntarily move his left arm or leg. (b) he feels no sensation on the left side of his body, (c) he feels no sensation on his right side.

A male suffers a stroke. Afterwards, he is unable to move his right arm. What specific area of the brain is damaged? A woman suffers a stroke. Afterwards, she experiences difficulty with language comprehension. She called a fork a "gleeble" and her sentences do not make any sense. What specific brain region has most likely been affected? A man suffered an accident that fractured his skull and caused damage to CN VII on the left side. This damage has resulted in Bell's Palsy. What symptoms would you expect to see due to this condition affecting CN VII?

Damage to a sensory area of the left cerebral cortex causes deficits on the right because: - Primary afferents cross the midline on their way to second-order cells. - Second-order cells have axons that cross the midline on the way to the thalamus. - Thalamic neurons project to the contralateral cerebral cortex. - Any of the above could be responsible, depending on the sensory system involved.
