neurology/brain anatomy question...?
1. Patient suffers head injury in car accidnt, now has large blind areas in visual field, cannot see "shapes" of objects, etc.
2. Stroke victime diagnosed w/ agnosia (semantic agnosia) ; has to handle object in order to remember their name.
Select area of brain damaged in each:
occipital lobe
right temporal lobe
Broca's area
limbic system
cerebellum
reticular formation
I know it's probably not the last three, but these are the choices. I'm confused because it seems both could be due to damage in occipital lobe, but can only use each one once. Since language is basically in the left temporal lobe, right temporal lobe didn't seem correct, either. Help!

Hi neni!
It was a little difficult since the brain is so interconnected,
but I will go with Right Temporal Lobe....
which involves memories or connections with data as
patient #2
And also visual perception as with patient #1.
I hope that helps! :)
