Stroke is a medical condition in which the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted, resulting in a lack of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. This can cause brain cells to die, leading to a range of symptoms, including paralysis, speech and language problems, memory loss, and difficulty with coordination and balance.
