Document Summary
Take into account how old she is, how long she"s had them, gender, left-handedness. Note how it"s only the frontal region of the brain that seems to have undergone some form of neurodegeneration. We"ll look at what happens to function under conditions of both specific and gross lesions of certain regions. Make sure to know all of these too: sagittal. Ct scan shows a region (dark) of the brain has possibly been affected by a stroke. Pet scan does not give you much of an image about structure, however is very useful in showing areas of functionality of the brain: can also use to look at neurotransmitter binding sites. Mri with t1 protocol, can tell because the ventricles are so dark, excellent distinction between regions. The two hippocampi left and right look quite different from one another. How do clinical neuropsychologists learn about brain function.
