Question 7

Mrs. P. was unable to move her left arm or to smile symmetrically since an ischemic stroke that occurred about 3 months previously. Her left leg was also affected, although it was somewhat stronger than her arm. Her caregivers explain that the most difficult thing about working with this patient is that she doesn't truly seem to understand that she has any problem with her left side. In fact she seems to neglect not only the left side of her own body but also objects present on her left side. What regions of the brain are likely to be involved, and what major artery supplies it?
