Hemispatial neglect, is a neuropsychological condition in which, after damage to one hemisphere of the brain, a deficit in attention to and awareness of one side of space is observed. Hemispatial neglect is very commonly on the opposite side of the damaged hemisphere, but instances of same sided neglect have been reported.Although most strikingly affecting visual perception (‘visual neglect’), neglect in other forms of perception can also be found, either alone, or in combination with visual neglect. A patient with neglect behaves as if one side of sensory space is nonexistent; although they can still walk and turn around to either sides. A patient with neglect might fail to eat the food on the one half of their plate, even though they complain of being hungry. If someone with neglect is asked to draw a clock, their drawing might show only the numbers 12 and 1 to 6, the other side being distorted or left blank. Neglect patients may also ignore one side of their body, shaving or adding make-up only to the non-neglected side.
