Sue is admitted to the hospital after having a stroke. She is experiencing the following symptoms:
episodes of intense, unexplainable fear; blindness in her right eye; difficulty moving her right foot;
and always feeling hungry no matter how much she eats.

MRI Scan will be used to diagnose the Sue through using it to examine the structures of the brian so as to note or ascertain damages to structures of the brain and also abnormalities to the brain structure as a result of the stroke.

The following relates to Sue's symptoms through;

Amygdala; Because the Amygdala is responsible for the control of the rage and fear responses, it may have been affected.

Hypothalamus; Because none of the symptoms Sue is presenting with involves hypothalamic functions, the hypothalamus of the patients probably wasn't affected.these hypothalamic functions: Endocrine control,body temperature,reward centers,hunger, thirst,

sexual behavior.

The possible connecting between the damages done to the hypothalamus and that patient's episodes of fear,will clearly indicate that these feelings might or will have connection to the endocrine control (the release of adrenaline,fight or flight response).

Acetylcholine; Acetylcholine as chief of the neurotransmitters, when there is excess accumulation of it at the neuromuscular junction or synapse,will bring about the above symptoms of Sue like blindness in her right eye, difficulty moving her right foot, and always feeling hungry no matter how much she eats.

Sensory neurons; As of result of Sue's stroke,there will be damage to the sensory neurons as well as damage to to the nerve cells in the brain tissue.there will be obvious impairment in relaying sensory impulse to the brain which will in-turn bring about the symptoms Sue is presenting with.

Magnetic waves and radio fields will be injured too,a break in transmission of waves will impair normal functioning and bring about the above symptoms of Sue.
