BRAIN DAMAGE

Damage to the right hemisphere of the brain can lead to cognitive-communication problems, such as impaired memory, attention problems and poor reasoning. In many cases, the individual with right brain damage is not aware of the cognitive difficulties or communication problems that they are experiencing.


The causes of right hemisphere damage include:
  • Stroke
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Surgery
  • Infection/Illness
  • Tumor

Characteristics

People with right hemisphere damage experience communication problems that are subtler in nature than those that occur from left hemisphere damage. This is due in part to the fact that, in most of the population, the language centers are in the left hemisphere, while cognitive functioning is often housed in the right hemisphere. Cognitive-communication problems that can occur from right hemisphere damage include difficulty with:

  • Attention
  • Memory
  • Organization
  • Reasoning
  • Problem-solving
  • Orientation
  • Left-side neglect
  • Socail judgement / pragmatics

If you are experience or notice these symptoms or signs in someone that you care a lot, maybe they are suffer from brain problem or brain damage or brain injury. So, immediately contact your professional health care.
