Accepted Answer

Many motor and sensory fibres pass through the internal capsule, a white matter structure, on their way to and from the cortex. Any form of damage to this area will result in some unusual observations that will help us pinpoint where the lesions are on the internal caspule.The symptoms and signs of pure motor stroke are weakness in the arm, leg, or face.A pure motor stroke is the outcome of an infarct in the internal capsule, which is known as one of the classic forms of lacunar infarcts.The most typical lacunar condition is a pure motor stroke induced by an ischemia in the internal capsule.Higher motor neuron symptoms are Babinski sign, hyperreflexia, Hoffman presence, clonus, and spasticity.A stroke to the posterior limb of the internal capsule, which contains the motor fibres for the arm, trunk, and legs as well as sensory fibres, can cause contralateral weakness and contralateral sensory loss since both motor and sensory fibres are transported in the internal capsule.To know more about the 'sensory fibres' related questionsvisit- https://brainly.com/question/28279471#SPJ4
