What is the term used to describe the inflammation of the brain?

Dorothy , I had this in 1987. Headaches, loss of feeling in my right arm, memory loss n speech loss… very scary. I thought I had a stroke at first. Was in hospital for 2 weeks. They gave me a new medication that had just been on the market for 6 months n it did it’s job! Thank you Jesus!

I worked with a student who had it.
