Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain MRI is the best structural imaging technique available. Every ATL surgical evaluation usually includes a complete MRI study. Positron emission tomography (PET)

The capacity of one brain area to take over the functions of another damaged brain area is known as brain?

Neuroplasticity or brain plasticity refers to the way that changes in neural pathways and synapses allow one part of the brain to "take over" damaged areas of the brain. It also refers to the brain's general ability to change as we age for both better and worse.


Why can't a damaged cell in the brain be replaced?

Damaged cells in the brain cannot be replaced because the brain lacks the ability to regenerate cells like other organs in the body. Additionally, the complex network of neurons in the brain makes it difficult for new cells to integrate and function properly. Research is ongoing to find ways to stimulate brain cell regeneration, but it remains a challenging area in neuroscience.


What is the definition of brain fissures?

Brain fissures are convolutions in the structure of the brain that form valleys between folds. The valleys are called fissures or sulci (plural of sulcus), and lie between the raised folds called gyri (singular gyrus).Many brain features are identified with fissures, including Broca's fissure, the Fissure of Sylvius, the central (Rolando's) fissure, and the hippocampal fissure.


What is the difference between Broca's area and the Wernicke's area?

Both these regions of the brain are concerned with speech and language. Brocas is concerned with the actual mechanical production of peech. Damage to this area appears as an inability to produce correct sounds.Wernicke's area is concerned with the understanding of speech and language.Fairly simple tests are able to distinguish which area is damaged. Broca's area is often damaged in strokes.


What region of the brain is Broca's area located?

Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere of the brain, typically the left hemisphere for right-handed individuals. It is involved in the production of speech and language processing.

How did Broca and Wernicke determine the location of key language areas in the brain?

Broca and Wernicke determined the location of key language areas in the brain by studying patients with language deficits due to brain injuries. Broca identified a brain region in the frontal lobe responsible for speech production, now known as Broca's area. Wernicke identified a region in the temporal lobe responsible for language comprehension, now known as Wernicke's area.


How long does it take the tissues of the brain to heal?

if it is only a tiny tiny area of tissue that is damaged it will take a shortish amount of time if you have the right medicine and help that you need if it is a large area of brain tissue that is damaged then it is quite likely that it will never heal and will be permanently damaged.

Which area of the brain can be damaged by chronic alcohol abuse?

cerebral cortex


What happen if the visual cortex is damaged?

You can become blind if the outercore is damaged because it is connected to your brain and your eyes If you damage the visual association area of your brain, you can still see but you can't comprehend what you're looking at


How does alzheimers affect the respiratory system?

Strokes affect the cells in the brain. Since the brain controls all parts of the body, the area of the brain that controls your respiratory system can be damaged due to the rupture of an artery in the brain.


WHAT IS The capacity of one brain area to take over the functions of another damaged brain?

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections to compensate for injury or disease. This can lead to one brain area taking over functions of another damaged area, known as brain plasticity or cortical remapping. The degree of plasticity varies among individuals and depends on factors like age, type of injury, and rehabilitation.

When a person suffered a stroke and falls into a sleeplike coma and the damaged is somewhere in the brain stem which structure is most likely damaged?

Stroke damage is always somewhere in the brain. However, you cannot say that every person who has had a stroke and is in a coma has had the stroke in the same part of the brain. Strokes can affect just about any area of the brain.
