What is the usual type of brain damage that a stroke can cause? Is it likely to lose capacity for thought and problem solving skills? Also, is it possible for tissue damage to restore itself back to the level of functioning it was at before, as the brain regularly restores cells?
Damage and the subsequent problems with speech, language, and cognition rely entirely on the site and size of the lesion.
Tissue does not regenerate significantly enough to affect functional recovery, unfortunately.
Yes, it is entrirely possible to have damaged reasoning and problem-solving skills. Typically, in the absence of a language deficit, the lesion in that case would most likely be in the frontal lobe of the right cerebral hemisphere.

Other activities include “Pi and Thagoras,” which consists of piecing together a shape, and “Touch of Brilliance,” a memory game that involves recalling the last colored tiles appearing in a random sequence. Each timed mini-game offers multiple difficulty settings and levels for an added challenge. Up to four players can test their brainpower against each other in wireless competition. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide Universal Nintendo DS Educational Games

I know some people are born talented singers, and some have to practice. I also know that there are some people who just can’t sing.
Which part of the brain controls this? Could singing talent be inherited?
I think it would be controlled by the same area that dictates artistic abilities. Many singers are just born with "well tune ears" the same way some people are natural drawers.
Yes I think singing can be inherited or natural. Similar to Elvis Presley and His daughter or Inrique Inglesias and his father.
All are singers and could have INHERITED THE ABILITY.
Or it can also be natural as in Christna Aguilera. No one in her family that I am aware of has the same singing ability.
Hope That Answers Your Question:)
