Event: Aphasia Virus

Type: Planetary
The virus does not technically induce aphasia, usually caused by physical damage to an area of the brain, but only mimics its effects in a similar manner. The virus resides in the temporal lobes of the infected, and had an adaptive synaptic inhibitor. Its symptoms included speaking in gibberish and the inability to understand language. The virus disrupted the brain's processing of aural and visual stimuli. It worked by imposing itself within the established synaptic pathways of the temporal lobes and then rerouting them. In the later stages the virus caused high fever and attacked the autonomic nervous system, which eventually led to death.
