Dysfunction of the parietal lobe : Cortical sensory loss, astereognosis, sensory Jacksonian seizures, disorders of the body schema , sensory inattention , constructional apraxia , dressing apraxia , topographical agnosia, hemisomatognosia , anosognosia . Posterior dominant parietal lobe Gerstmanns syndr. Rt-Lt disorientation , finger agnosia ,dyscalculia , dysgraphia .

    5. Continue. Dysfunction of the temporal lobe : - Auditory functions impaired auditory sensation verbal (domin) musical (nondomin.) , auditory agnosia . Sensory dysphasia ( Wernickes area domin.) Visual functions : prosopognosia visual field defect . Memory : bilateral lesions global amnesia with normal immediate recall . Unilateral dominant impaired verbal memory , nondominant impaired non-verbal memory (spatial ) - Personality/ psychosis emotional lability , aggressive behavior , reduce sexual activity , Kluver Bucy Syndrome .
