Hey Veeky Forums. Is this MRI scan indicative of frontal lobe damage/frontal lobe lobotomy?

Here's another MRI picture of the same brain.

sagittal cut?

>lobotomy
no, unless you're on the worst level possible

Here you go.

Same picture but of a better quality.

Isn't this what you go to medical school for, OP?

Also yes, obvious frontal lobe damage. Not a lobotomy though, as that tends to be more localised.

What could've caused this? A stroke?

Also, what are those strange lines?

I see damage in more than one location though, not just the frontal lobe, but also in the occipital lobe.
Perhaps a TBI?

Maybe veins/arteries
Fronto temporal dementia?
Is it vascular?

Age of patient?

Oh boy. I wonder how I managed to get all this brain damage. The last thing I remember is waking up very agitated, and being dragged to a CIA site.
Then, I slipped into sleep/coma, and woke up at a strange hospital where there was torture for no apparent reason.

Then I found out in the news that my friend was responsible for the biggest DDoS attacks in history. I wonder why they came for me, though.

>TL;DR
>It was a drunken boxing match
Wasn't it, OP, wasn't it?

21. I had some issues with memory up until recently. The memories which came back are just too scary to be true.

What happened?

Please tell me you're joking and don't seriously think that happened to you?

What the hell.... probably schizophrenia

That's probably his CIA tracking chip! ;)

Is this your MRI do you have a brain disease what do you remember

thats a calcified choroid plexus

>What is a joke?

I remember being hit, as well as passing out, then finding myself at what seemed to be like a CIA site (it had the CIA logo on the wall). Then I passed out, and found myself at a hospital, where I almost starved to death.
I also remember that the drinking water tasted very strange just a few minutes after I passed out... it was some sort of a sweet taste.
I also remember someone in a military uniform going upstairs. The stuff was just very, very scary and sinister.

Before that, I was a lonely teenager who had no friends in real life and never went outside, and who had dumbass cybercriminal friends. One of those dumbass friends initiated what was at the time the largest DDoS attack in history. Here's the news article:

If you're British, why would the CIA be the ones torturing you?

Schizophrenic

I mean, I don't know how much of this is true. This is what I remember. I clearly remember the CIA site, and the CIA logo on the wall.

And I remember the water tasting sweet and strange and then me falling asleep (?).

The memories could be distorted, I don't deny that. But this is what I remember.

see .

Yeah, I'm thinking that too...

I'm not British, I'm Russian. This guy was one of my friends.

Does schizophrenia cause severe structural brain damage? As far as I know, ventricular enlargement is the only structural abnormality associated with the disease. And even if I was, you can be schizophrenic and be tortured - one doesn't exclude the other.

As if the Russians would work with the CIA?
If they can't get Snowden, why would they go to the extra effort to extraordinary rendition a random Russian who probably didn't know anything anyway?

Go to hospital get psychiatrist and neurologist

Because I'm a Russian who happens to live in the West.

Well then, if you live in Britain, why would it be the CIA torturing you?

I'm no professional but the frontal lobe doesn't seem anything special or that it has taken damage from these lowres mri scans. Also those lines are just guri and sulci.

Veeky Forums needs more brain threads though.

I don't live in Britain, I live in France.
I guess the NSA could be the first to find out as the French services had no resources to break encrypted communications. Then, the NSA passed on a directive to the CIA. It's as simple as that.

Again though, the CIA have no jurisdiction in France?

that's gotta be an issue with the tissue contrast, he'd be a vegetable with this much damage. that's why i didn't go hard in my first post

Well, he has been talking about being under CIA extraordinary rendition despite being a Russian national living in France?

Then it could either be a false memory from a coma, or (in the very unlikely case) a CIA blacksite.

I am pretty much a comatose vegetable now, though. I have a hard time moving or doing anything. I'm very lethargic and apathetic.
My cognition wasn't affected as much happily.
The condition had not improved nor worsened much since the release from the hospital.

well that's fair. OP, check your pupils and also tell us if you're on any meds, get off Veeky Forums and see a doctor, not memeing.

I have been taking mood stabilizers, but they're of little help.
And the CIA blacksite memory seemed very real. I instantly recognized the CIA insignia on the wall. The feelings of going through all that are hard to forget. I know all this could be a part of the small coma I slipped into a week before the hospital. But I don't know anymore.

There's also similarities in schizophrenia with depression so that the hippocampus at least getd a slightly smaller and the neurogenesis slows down together with decreased myelinisation. This shows up with subnormal mnemonic skills

CIA doesn't give a fuck about jurisdictions especially in the state of white flags and 14 eyes in this era of EAR.

Well, maybe you shouldn't associate yourself with autists who attack governments (which pretty much guarantees you'll get caught) and rather the more professional cybercriminal who simply does it for money.

How likely it is though that the CIA would taste their time and resources on him?

close to zero but it's always a nice thought. I sometimes go on the same track it too it creates a sense of importance and thought of meaningfulness. Basic coping straregy.

If this OP really is the case though, I'd see it for a while and think about going to a clinic calmly. See how it develops and try to write down your thoughts and see them couple days later. There's also online support groups (other than sci and the basic boards)

Is the frontal lobe damage really serious? What could induce such damage? I doubt it's dementia, since the symptoms have been relatively stable and the condition is not really getting worse. Plus, I'm only 21 - that's a bit too young to be demented.

How hard do you have to be hit on the head for such damage to occur? And does the CIA allow damaging the brain as a part of its torture/neutralization strategies?

That looks like a fox, lol.

Also, am I being trolled by Veeky Forums? Or do I really have substantial brain damage?

Your MRI looks like you do, however, you just sound schizophrenic.

You can sound schizophrenic because of the brain damage.
Schizophrenia doesn't explain such extensive brain damage.

Frontal lobe's cortex, the dorsolateral, orbitofrontal and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex are all important in high abstract thinking such as emotional control, decision making, social inhibitation and morality. It seems to be some sort of center of different associations that involve some specific task and is extremely flexible for different thoughts. It might be some function center to develop some certain thoughts.

It has its deal on memory too but thats more on the subcortical level in the forebrain or the midbrain. It's pretty complicated overall for laymen and for professionals too. Don't get yourself the Münchausen's syndrome but if some serious indications of symptoms take over, just seek for healthcare. These things may happen to everybody. If your life is stressful temporarily it may go over but better be on the safe side on these matters. Relax and sleep over at least.

Fine, you got smashed in by the CIA and it was your fault.
From now on, don't associate with such bellends.
You do know, he's probably being forced to work for them now, while you suffer for his misdeeds?

Looks more like a mild hydrocephalia

>Spamhaus called on anti-DDoS specialist Cloudflare for support
lol

I know, right. He did a DNS fragmentation attack and it brought down Cloudflare for a short period of time, too.
Of course finding someone else to blame was a necessity - why incriminate your own when you can just incriminate some Russian guy?

Maybe you should pick better friends?

I was bad at making friends and nobody wanted to be friends with me except for him. He was an asshole, but I don't despise that guy.

>implying american imperialism (the CIA being the primary tool in that, as evidenced by history) cares about borders or anything except preserving the power structure of their owners
