Behavioral/cognitive consequences would depend entirely where the lesions were localized. For instance, if the lesions involved Broca's or Wernicke's areas, (e.g., from lower middle cerebral artery occlusion) then the person would have difficulty with language comprehension and/or expression. Depending on the specific area and extent of injury, this could manifest in a number of ways such as difficulty with: pronunciation, comprehending spoken or written language, specific grammar/certain word use, naming things.
