Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that lesions to the right posterior cingulate cortex are associated with heading disorientation, as this region is important for processing spatial information and navigation. Lesions to other regions, such as the anterior cingulate cortex, have not been specifically linked to heading disorientation.
