Nirenberg Lesion

Nirenberg lesion refers to a specific type of brain injury affecting the motor pathways in the brain, particularly the corticospinal tract. It usually results from damage like a stroke or trauma, causing weakness or loss of voluntary movement on the side of the body opposite the injury. This condition highlights how injuries in certain brain areas can disrupt communication with muscles, leading to motor deficits. Understanding Nirenberg lesions helps clinicians diagnose the location and extent of brain damage based on the pattern of motor impairments observed.
