Blood Supply
Uses about 20% of blood at any one timeUses 25% of oxygen1. Internal Carotid Arteries and branches2. Vertebral artery and branches divides into:
Internal Carotid Arteries1. Anterior cerebral arteries
Supplies medial surface of cortex, leg area of motor strip, and portions ofcaudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, and internal capsule
2. Middle cerebral arteriesSupplies most of lateral surface of hemisphere
3. Ophthalmic arteriessupplies eye, frontal scalp, dorsum of the nose, ethmoid, and frontal sinuses
4 & 5. Posterior & Anterior communicating arteriesForms circle of Willis

Circle of Willis
Joining of the two internalcarotid arteries with thetwo vertebral arteries
Allows distribution of bloodto any part of bothhemispheres

Etiology
Stroke CVA
1. Thrombotic stroke2. Embolic stroke3. Hemorrhagic stroke
Catagories1. TIA - transient ischemic attack2. RIND - reversible ischemic neurological deficit3. Stroke in evolution4. Completed stroke
CVA - cerebral vascular accident usually sudden onset involving blockage ofblood flow to brainThrombotic stroke - build-up of plaque on inner vessel walls blocking flow ofblood (ischemic - deficiency of blood)Embolic stroke - traveling clot (ischemic)Hemorrhagic stroke - bursting of arterial walls due to aging of high bloodpressure (hematoma - accumulation of blood in brain)TIA - less than 24 hoursRIND - days or weeks but with minimal or no damageEvolution - longer than 24 hours with associated progressive deteriorationCompleted - deterioration stops and patient stabilizes

EEG
www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/EEG/doc/mmnlang.shtml
“The EEG, or electroencephalograph, deserves mention as one of the first --and still very useful -- ways of non-invasively observing human brain activity.An EEG is a recording of electrical signals from the brain made by hooking upelectrodes to the subject's scalp. These electrodes pick up electric signalsnaturally produced by the brain and send them to galvanometers (instrumentsthat detect and measure small electric currents) that are in turn hooked up topens, under which graph paper moves continuously. The pens trace thesignals onto the graph paper.”(http://www.pbs.org/wnet/brain/scanning/eeg.html)

WadaTest
http://cnri.edu/Clinical_Studies/Independent_Studies/CNRI_Research_&_Development/Iridological_Evaluation_2003.htm
The Wada test (named for a neurologist, Juhn A. Wada) consists of behavioraltesting after the injection of an anesthetic (such as sodium amobarbital orsodium methohexital*) into the right or left internal carotid artery. Dependingon how the injection is made (and the quantity), we have a certain amount oftime during which the activities of one of the cerebral hemispheres aresuspended, so the abilities subserved by the other hemisphere can be tested inisolation.
