How Sexuality Changes After Stroke Strokes that affect the hypothalamus, an area of the brain involved in the control sexual hormones, can also affect a person's sexual drive. In some rare instances a stroke can also cause increased sexuality, or unusual and inappropriately explicit sexual behavior . Sex therapy is the most effective way to improve sex after stroke. It is expensive, however, and it might not be covered by your insurance.

The Effects of a Left Sided Stroke If a left-sided stroke affects a motor center, the person will have right-sided deficits because motor tracts cross in the brain. He may experience hemiplegia, which is paralysis on one side of the body, in this case the right side, or hemiparesis, which is weakness on one side.f a left-sided stroke affects a motor center, the person will have right-sided deficits because motor tracts cross in the brain.

Neurocardiology The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that regulates function and responds to stress. When the brain perceives environmental danger, the amygdala fires a nerve impulse to the hypothalamus to initiate the body's fight-or-flight mode through the sympathetic nervous system.

- The hypothalamus is the key brain site for integration of multiple biologic systems to maintain homeostasis. Neurons in the hypothalamus discharge in relation to multiple physiologic indices and change discharge rate with changes in these indices, thus establishing set points.

Hypothalamic dysfunction Hypothalamic dysfunction: Introduction. Hypothalamic dysfunction: Abnormal function of the thalamus located in the brain. The thalamus controls pituitary gland function which in turn controls other hormone producing glands such as the thyroid gland, adrenal gland, ovaries and testes. The thalamus also regulates functions such as temperature control, emotions, sleep, appetite and salt balance.

- By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD. The hypothalamus is a small but important part of the brain. It contains several small nuclei with a variety of functions. It plays an important role in the nervous system as well as in the endocrine system. It is linked to another small and vital gland called the pituitary gland.

How Sexuality Changes After Stroke Strokes can affect the areas of the brain that control arm and leg movements, thus preventing couples from achieving the sexual positions they enjoy most. Of course some people are more affected than others by this, depending on the extent of damage to the brain caused by the stroke.

Hypothalamus The hypothalamus (from Greek ὑπό, under and θάλαμος, room, chamber) is a portion of the brain that contains a number of small nuclei with a variety of functions. One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland (hypophysis).

How a stroke affects the brain and body How a stroke affects the brain and body. The brain is the control centre for the body and everything we do. Different parts of the brain control different parts of the body.The brain is divided into two halves. One side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. For example, the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body.

An Overview of the Hypothalamus The hypothalamus is located below the thalamus (a part of the brain that relays sensory information) and above the pituitary gland and brain stem. It is about the size of an almond. Hormones of the Hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is highly involved in pituitary gland function.

Anatomy of the Endocrine System The hypothalamus is a part of the brain located superior and anterior to the brain stem and inferior to the thalamus. It serves many different functions in the nervous system, and is also responsible for the direct control of the endocrine system through the pituitary gland.

- Observation of memory difficulties can help doctors to identify the area of the brain that has been affected by a stroke. A loss of short term memory indicates damage to the hippocampus. Loss of facial memory indicates damage to the inferiotemporal cortex. Conversely, if a neurologist identifies the location of stroke in a patient he or she can predict, to some extent, what memory problems a patient or caregiver should be prepared for.

Hypothalamus Activity and Hormone Production About the size of a pearl, the hypothalamus directs a multitude of important functions in the body. Located in the diencephalon region of the forebrain, the hypothalamus is the control center for many autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous system. Connections with structures of the endocrine and nervous systems enable the hypothalamus to play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis.
