Case: The Patient Who Cannot Locate Touch
Captions available
The idea
A patient who feels a touch and cannot say where on the body it landed has damage to the parietal lobe.
In practice
Touched on the forearm with eyes closed, the patient reports the sensation and points to the shoulder.
Where people slip
Sensation and its placement are handled separately. One can survive the loss of the other.
