From what I read, it sounds like the death of brain tissue caused by an infarction (blockage) in the middle cerebral artery.
Majority: Middle cerebral artery Superior inch: Anterior cerebral artery
because it is in continuity with internal carotid artry, usually embolus lodges there.
I beileve (Looking in my Hole's anatomy & physiology text) that the anterior cerebral branches off the middle cerebral, which branches from the posterior communicating artery. Or it circles around to the anterior communicating artery. They all form the cerebral arterial circle.
middle cerebral artery, inferior division
The motor speech area, specifically Broca's area, is primarily supplied by branches of the middle cerebral artery, such as the superior division of the middle cerebral artery. Interruption of blood supply to this area can lead to expressive aphasia, or difficulty with speech production.
The anterior and posterior cerebral arteries are both branches of the internal carotid artery
Blood supply to the brain is derived from branches of the carotid arteries. The anterior and middle portions are supplied predominantly by Anterior cerebral artery and Middle cerebral artery. Both are branches of the Internal carotid artery.
That is called the left middle cerebral artery (MCA)
No it's called plaque.
1) maxillary artery 2) superficial temporal artery
The left middle cerebral artery supplies blood to broca's area.
From what I just read about Moya-Moya disease surgery, it sounds as though the middle cerebral artery is often bypassed with the temporal artery to give better blood flow. This procedure is well known at Stanford University in California.
