Long term memory lobe
Common Questions and Answers about Long term memory lobe
memory
It is basically a softening of the brain matter as a result of an ischemia or infarction, degenerative changes, infection, craniocerebral trauma, or other injury. Thus any damage to this lobe can lead to long term memory loss. Certain types of epilepsies and seizures and sleep disturbances too cause short term memory loss along with tiredness or fatigue. Chronic infections too are known to precipitate memory loss. For this you can try yoga and meditation.
Thus any damage to this lobe can lead to long term memory loss, mood swings, talking too much, and energy bursts leading to over activity. Long term complication is chance of schizophrenia.
Encephalomalacia is not an illness. It is basically a softening of the brain matter as a result of an ischemia or infarction, degenerative changes, infection, craniocerebral trauma, or other injury. Usually this is not reversible. Treatment is just supportive.
This lobe is associated with mood and memory. Thus any damage to this lobe can lead to long term memory loss, mood swings, talking too much, and energy bursts leading to over activity. Long term complication is chance of schizophrenia.

Walking is a more complex activity requiring proper functioning of several parts of brain, spinal cord and muscles. Though only frontal lobe injury should not affect the walking, there are several other factors that will decide how soon or if at all he will walk. Please discuss with his treating neurologist.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

There is a possibility that your friend has auditory and visual hallucinations typical of schizophrenia that prompt him to take actions he is taking now. Please get him evaluated in neuropsychiatry or by a psychiatrist.
Hope this helps.
I am a 40 yr old female with a history of migraines. I've always used Topamax as a maintenance rx & Imitrex injections as a rescue rx. My migraines have been under control for over a yr. In the last 3 months, my headaches have returned. I have also noticed that memory (short & long term) & my cognitive skills have been affected. I.E. I can't remember parts of conversations that I only had 5 minutes ago.

Yes, it is possible to have encephalomalacia long after brain injury due to either injury itself or due to low blood supply to the injured area. You can probably take a second opinion from another doctor maybe through VA or outside it. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.
The huge problem is he has lost all short term and most long term memory. He makes up stories sometimes and still thinks he is in the Navy and on a ship (he used to be). He sometimes seems to know that I am his daughter if I remind him, same with my 2 other sisters but forgets our age. He does still remember his faith in God which is amazing. If you tell him something a second later he forgets. Because of that he can not take care of himself.
Looks like my husband's MS has affected his front lobe - see alot of short term memory loss, loss of ability to run a business, etc. Any suggestions out there?
If your brain has a problem it will make a noise---severe headaches, vomiting, loss of sensation, muscle weakness etc etc. You may have short term or long term memory loss, if it involves a specific area of the brain concerned with memory. Do not worry. Nothing like this is going to happen. As I said earlier a man’s brain is actually quite safe. The smack is just like we hit our head against a door or something by mistake.
Relax! Concentrate on your studies. I am sure you will do well.
Hi Everyone,
I went in for another brain MRI yesterday, and they also did a c-spine MRI. My last brain MRI was about 3 months ago in August. I had told my MS neuro last time I met with him that I had noticed changes in my memory and attention. I'm NEVER forgetful, but recently my short term memory isn't functioning like it used to function. It was definitely enough for me to take notice of it.
Oke so 1.5 years ago I got a very tiny piece of minth stuck in my throat. Whatever I've been trying I couldn't cought it out. I still have that feeling on the same spot now about 10 cm below the adams apple.
The symptoms felt by the patient include abnormal sensations like a feeling of déjà vu, loss of short term memory or amnesia. Other sensations could be abnormal taste sensations, abnormal sounds and smell, feelings of fear, nervousness and anger.
These symptoms last for few minutes to an hr. I would suggest you to see a neurologist as early as possible.
The only reason that rings warning bells is because people with frontal lobe problems often have memory problems- i believe primarily short term which is what he is demonstrating.
If I were you, I would make an appointment with a neurologist. While the cyst is "harmless" or benign, if it is pressing on the brain, it can affect it. And the location of your son's cyst could possibly cause memory problems. Frontal lobe can also effect emotions greatly.
You have certain executive functioning problems coming up, which include memory. This has to do with the parietal lobe. Parietal lobe is the most important lobe for cognition. The nerve cells in the parietal cortex are not taking up adequate glucose. There could be a structural change. A repeat PET scan may not show any changes unless certain remedial measures are taken.
Thus any damage to this lobe can lead to long term memory loss, mood swings, talking too much, and energy bursts leading to over activity. Long term complication is chance of schizophrenia.
The symptoms can also be due to post trauma anxiety. To differentiate between the two you will need a MRI of the brain and a session with a counselor.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Drug studies are only 4 to 8 weeks long I doub't there have ever been any long term (more than a year) studies on the long term use of gabapentin.
For any one who is having trouble tapering off of gabapentin a magnesium supplement is very effective in reducing the severity of the withdrawal from gabapentin.
