CVA in the anterior cerebral circulatory system (frontal lobe) is commonly associated with disorders of behavior and cognition such as personality changes, apathy, decreased inhibition, and difficulty with planning and problem-solving. Neglect of body and difficulty organizing space is more commonly associated with lesions in the parietal lobe, while Wernicke's aphasia is associated with lesions in the temporal lobe. Bilateral motor and sensory problems are more commonly associated with lesions in the brainstem or spinal cord.
