After a craniocerebral injury a patient is unable to recognize objects by touch. What part of brain has been damaged?
- A. Occipital lobe
- B. Postcentral gyrus
- C. Precentral gyrus
- D. Cerebellum
- E. Temporal lobe
Hint
Identifying an object by touch alone needs both sensory input and its cortical analysis, so ask where in the brain general body sensation is processed.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
