What happens with damage to the left parietal lobe?
- Agraphia
- Alexia
- Agnosia (contralateral sensory deficits)
What is the primary function of the Temporal lobe?
- Language
- Memory
Determine equality and size of pupils; reaction to light; presence of strabismus (loss of ocular alignment); ability of eyes to follow a moving target without head movement; presence of ptosis of eyelid.
Cranial nerves III, IV, and VI: Oculomotor, Trochlear, Abducens
With tongue protruded, examine ability to move tongue rapidly from side to side.
Cranial nerve XII: Hypoglossal
Examine olfactory acuity using non-noxious odors such as lemon oil, coffee, cloves or tobacco.
