Question

After surviving an ischemic stroke, a client has demonstrated significant changes in his emotional behavior, with his family noting that he now experiences wide mood swings and exaggerated responses of empathy, anger, and sadness to situations. His care team would most likely attribute these responses to ischemic changes in which brain structure?

Answer 1

His care team would most likely attribute these responses to the limbic system. We know this because the lymbic system controls basic emotions.
