Question

after suffering an ischemic stroke, cindy finds that she cannot move her left leg. which area is most likely to have received damage from the stroke?
answers: a - e
a left insular lobe
b right frontal lobe
c right temporal lobe
d right parietal lobe
e left occipital lobe

Explanation:

The motor cortex, which controls voluntary movement, is located in the frontal lobe. Due to the brain's contralateral control (right side of the brain controls left side of the body and vice versa), damage to the right frontal lobe (which contains the motor cortex for the left leg) would likely cause left - leg movement impairment. The insular lobe is involved in consciousness and perception of bodily functions. The temporal lobe is for auditory processing and memory. The parietal lobe is for sensory processing (touch, etc.). The occipital lobe is for visual processing.

Answer:

B. Right frontal lobe
