We look at the different areas of the brain that can be affected by stroke.
About the Brain
The brain has two sides (right and left) and is divided into several areas that control different functions.
The location of the brain damage will determine the signs and symptoms of stroke.
Left Brain Functions:

- Understanding and expressing language
- Reading and writing
- Vision on the right side
Right Brain Functions:
