Hello,
Gliosis is a reactive change (non-specific) of glial cells in response to damage to the central nervous system (CNS). It will affect which area it is present.
It is like scar tissue. It may trigger Convolutions. A temporal area having hearing and sensory speech area may affect. What is your complaints, why you took MRI brain? If your details will guide you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
