Asomatognosia, a condition where a person fails to recognize parts of their own body, typically results from damage to the right parietal lobe and most often affects the left side of the body. This is because the right parietal lobe is responsible for spatial orientation and body awareness, and its damage usually leads to deficits in recognizing the contralateral (opposite) side of the body.
