Brainstem tumors may increase the impairment of behavioral emotional cognition in children

“…To date, few studies have explored the role of the brainstem in cognitive and emotional functions [ 5 ]. Evidence from Keschner, however, has pointed toward “mental/psychological symptoms” in patients with brainstem tumors [ 6 ].Since then, there has been an increase in the reported number of cases with behavioral, cognitive, and affective dysfunctions following a diagnosis of brainstem tumors. Children with tumors in the brainstem had been reported with irritability, hostility, lack of cooperation, attention deficit, stereotyped behavior, woke up at night, pathological smile and cry.…”

Prenatal nicotine alters development of the laterodorsal tegmentum: Possible role for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and drug dependence

“…While the literature supporting a role of the brain stem in cognitive functioning is scant, since the 1930s, it has been known that damage to the brain stem causes dysfunctions in executive control, suggesting that the brain stem transmits signals that are incorporated into high-order, cognitive processing[ 16 , 17 ]. While sparse, anatomical lesion, pharmacological, and stimulation data began to emerge supporting the interpretation that the brain stem plays a role that extends beyond simply receiving information, and its role may include participation as an inherent functional player in shaping cognitive function.…”
