A lesion refers to any sort of damage to the brain which results in tissue loss. They can occur on both sides of the brain - a lateral lesion would be only on one side though (whichever - just means on one side only) whereas a bilateral lesion will mean both sides are affected.
The side of the brain affected by a lesion depends on the location of the lesion. Generally, a lesion on the right side of the brain can affect spatial awareness, facial recognition, and emotional processing, while a lesion on the left side can impact language abilities and cognitive functions like reasoning and math.
The prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and personality expression, is one of the first areas of the brain to be affected by alcohol consumption.
The brain is the part of the body most affected by emotion. Emotions trigger chemical reactions in the brain that can influence mood, behavior, and overall well-being.
The right side of the brain is typically associated with creativity and imagination. It is involved in tasks such as visual thinking, problem-solving, and artistic expression.
The left side of the brain primarily controls the right side of the body. This is because the nervous system follows a "crossed" pattern, where the left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for motor functions on the right side of the body.
Yes, the frontal lobe of the brain is one of the first areas to be affected by alcohol. It plays a key role in decision-making, impulse control, and social behavior, which can be impaired by alcohol consumption. This can lead to poor judgment and risky behaviors.

A brain lesion is damage caused on purpose to a very specific location in an animal's brain. This method is used in lab experiments, since it allows us to research a specific location's function in the brain by observing the effects of its lesion.
Well since a lesion is a cut or wound, no. Not unless it was an infection that has hard pieces that could cut the brain.
Not necessarily. A lesion is any abnormality (lesion comes from a Latin word meaning "injury"), whereas a tumor is a specific type of abnormality (a growth).
A stroke, "infarction", in the capsule area of the brain. This often results in a loss of motor functions. The motor function affected depends on the location of the lesion in the capsule.
your imagination and creativity, the left side holds your knowledge
tuberculoma
a hypodense lesion is any lesion in the brain of density lesser than the normal tissue.it can be any fluid collection such as pus, blood or cyst or any low grade tumors with cystic changes.occipital region is a region in the backside of the brain. so hypodense lesion in occipital region denotes any of the above lesions in that region.to find out the exact lesion clinical correlation is needed.
Yes, a arachnoidtis will show on an MRI. This will show up on an MRI as a brain lesion, but doctors will furthur be able to determine exactly what the lesion is from.
If there is paralysis on the right side of the body then he will know that the left hemisphere was affected and trouble with the left side of the body means the right hemisphere is affected. The brain is cross wired!
Can a brain lesion cause excessive thirst even if the pituitary gland is normal? Also where would the lesion be located?
The right side of your brain processes and controls the left side of your body and senses, and the left does the same for the right. If you have a stroke, or trauma, to the right side of your brain then your left side of your body will be the affected side. The same for the left side of your brain. Damage to the left affects the right side. This is true even with something like vision. The left halves of each individual eye's visual field is processed by the right side of your occipital lobe, and the right by the left.
