BRAIN LESIONS

Area of lesion	Consequence
Amygdale(bilateral)	Klüver-Bucy syndrome (hyperorality, hypersexuality, disinhibited behavior)
Frontal lobe	Disinhibition and deficit in concentration, orientation, and judgment; may have reemergence of primitive reflexes
Right parietal lobe	Spatial neglect syndrome (agnosia of the contralateral side of the world)
Reticular activating system (midbrain)	Reduce levels of arousal and wakefulness
Mamillary bodies (bilateral)	Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
Basal ganglia	Tremor at rest, chorea, or athetosis
Cerebellar hemisphere	Intention tremor, limb ataxia; damage of cerebellum result in ipsilateral deficit, fall toward side of lesion
Cerebellar vermis	Truncal ataxia, dysarthria
Subthalamic nucleus	Contralateral hemibalismus
Hippocampus	Anterograde amnesia
Paramedian pontine reticula formation	Eyes look away from site of lesion
Frontal eyes fields	Eyes look toward lesion
