Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The right parietal lobe is responsible for attention and spatial awareness. Therefore, an injury to this area can result in visual neglect, which is the inability to attend to objects in the left visual field. A) Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not typically associated with parietal lobe injuries. B) Drug dependency may result from changes in the reward system of the brain, which is primarily controlled by the limbic system. C) Synesthesia is a neurological condition where one sensory experience can trigger another, and it is not typically associated with parietal lobe injuries.
