After a stroke, anything can sluchitsya



49-year-old Brazilian has suffered a stroke, but after that his personality changed in a strange way - he was "pathologically generous." His willingness to share with other people, including a completely unfamiliar to him, greatly changed his life: he spends money on children met on the street, buying them sodas, candy and fast food. Mr. A is no longer able to manage their financial lives and resume work as a manager of a large corporation.



Neurologist and Director of the Center for the Study of strokes in the Duke University Larry Goldstein believes that the stroke can lead to a variety of neuropsychological and behavioral changes, which often depends on the extent of damage and the location of the injury in the brain.

A stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks the flow of blood to the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. Brain damage caused by lack of oxygen can lead to emotional changes, most often depression, but there are cases when a stroke becomes a cause of pathological laughing or crying or neglect syndrome, in which people do not recognize someone else's point of view.

In the case of Mr. A. I had a stroke due to bleeding in the brain associated with high blood pressure. Stroke occurred in the subcortical region of the brain and, apparently, affected areas related to the regulation of normal behavior.

The case of Mr. A, according to neuroscientists shows that some areas of the brain responsible for the delicate balance between altruism and selfishness, constitutes one of the pillars of the usual social motivation and decision-making. Mr. A. no symptoms of dementia, but can be seen on CT excess blood flow to certain areas of the brain, causing damage associated nerve pathways. This, in turn, could disrupt the interaction of neural systems supporting key aspects of the personality.

Mr. A. This did not seem too concerned, he does not intend to return to work, as he believes that and so he worked his whole life, and now is the time to enjoy it.
