Neglect syndromes refer to a group of neurological conditions where individuals fail to notice or respond to stimuli on one side of their body or environment. This often occurs after brain damage, particularly in the right hemisphere, which can lead to a lack of awareness of the left side of space. People with neglect may ignore food on one side of their plate or not recognize objects in their peripheral vision. These syndromes can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life. Treatment often involves rehabilitation strategies, such as occupational therapy, to help individuals regain awareness and improve their ability to interact with their surroundings. Early intervention is crucial for better outcomes.
