Hemineglect
Hemineglect is a neurological condition where a person fails to notice or respond to stimuli on one side of their body or environment, typically the left side. This often occurs after damage to the right hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for spatial awareness and attention. Individuals with hemineglect may ignore food on one side of their plate or fail to dress one side of their body.
The condition can significantly impact daily life, making it challenging for individuals to navigate their surroundings or engage in activities. Treatment often involves rehabilitation strategies to help patients regain awareness and improve their attention to the neglected side.
