d
Temporal lobe
QuestionChoice
Correct - The parietal lobe is responsible for motor and sensory input to the contralateral side of the body. It is responsible for the recognition of sensation, proprioception, sense of space and time, as well as reading and comprehension. Damage to the parietal lobe is associated with hemi-spatial neglect.

A 67-year-old man is reviewed following a recent stroke. He states that he has not noticed any major problems in his activities of daily living. However, it is noted that he has shaved only the right-hand side of his face.

On examination, when asked to raise both arms in the air, he raises only the right arm. However, when his attention is brought specifically to the left arm, the sensory and motor function is intact.

Which of the following brain regions is most likely to be affected in a patient with hemi-spatial neglect?
a
