Short term memory frontal lobe

Common Questions and Answers about Short term memory frontal lobe

memory

1301334 tn?1272890907 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, mood swings, talking too much, and energy bursts leading to over activity. If the MRI of brain is done and it shows an injury to frontal lobe of the brain, then your behavior changes can be explained by the injury.
Avatar f tn I have lesions in my frontal lobe. It affected my short term memory, my recognition of faces, my problem-solving abilities, and my language skills. What I would do is (if you can afford it) to get a neuro-psych exam. This will help you pinpoint problem areas. After my neuro-psych exam, my psychiatrist recommended Aricept, which is usually given to Alzheimer's patients. There's some debate about how effective it is for MS patients.
Avatar f tn But this new one is in my frontal lobe, and I looked up frontal lobe functioning and it says that part of its function is memory and cognitive functions. Which hits it right on the head of the nail for me. (is that expression correct...it doesn't sound right?
1433517 tn?1283441290 HISTORY: 56 yr old female w/short term memory loss, personality changes; tonic clonic idiopathic seizures; seizure free since 1989. A focus of increased FLAIR and T2 signal is appreciated in the left perifrontal/periventricular white matter measuring approximately 7.5 millimeters in it's maximum dimension. Smaller lesions are seen in the anterior aspect of the left corona radiata subcortical white matter of the left frontal lobe.
Avatar f tn It is difficult to predict how soon a frontal lobe injury will take to heal. 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. If you notice any such symptoms, report to the doctor immediately. Take care!
Avatar f tn 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.

Long term complication is chance of schizophrenia. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn Damage to the frontal lobe of the brain causes frontal encephalomalacia. 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. Encephalomalacia is not an illness.

Avatar f tn Experiencing short term memory loss. Will a CT scan show anything in my brain that is left over damage from my MVA from so many tears ago? I am taking Prozac, Trazadone, Xanax and Adderall (for the focus issues that have been getting worses lately.
Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn I had a tumor removed from you right temporal lobe and it effected my short term memory. The damage has already been done, and can not be fixed. But do not give up HOPE! Anything can happen.
Avatar m tn Last year the Neurologist that examined me said that it was now further tested as Frontal Lobe Epilepsy since my time in Germany that I suffered from. Frontal Lobe Epilepsy is a recent find for some people whom have had accidents involving accidents and brain injury to the Frontal Lobe Part of the Brain area. It is one of the hard Epilepsy to diagnose because it looks and resymbols other form of Epilepsy. It effects your reading, writing, and other forms of emotions.
Avatar f tn i am worried abou the white matter increase from the right frontal lobe of the brain, to the left frontal lobe of the brain and having more spots on the left than the right. my cognition is also of great issue (can't find words, short term memory loss, loose train of thought, increase in fatigue, and increased stress and worry. overall, it all worries me greatly, and the new symptoms have only made things worse for me. i have no family or support in friends.
Avatar f tn The frontal 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. 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.
Avatar f tn I am so sorry to hear about your son. Frontal 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.
Avatar f tn 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. 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.
Avatar m tn t have any memory issues though. Do you have short term/long term memory issues? With frontal lobe injury seems like memory is a big issue.
Avatar m tn 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 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
