===== Clinical features =====

The symptoms of tumors in the [[parietal lobe]] include:

Loss of sensation in part of the body

Sensory or motor neglect – e.g. a person with right-sided [[sensory neglect]] will not respond to a sound from the right, gesturing by someone standing on their right or a touch to the right side of the body. 

They will respond normally to these stimuli on the left side.

Difficulty speaking or understanding speech
        
[[Alexia]] and [[agraphia]] are disorders common to the left inferior parietal lobule, including the [[angular gyrus]] and [[supramarginal gyrus]]. 
        
Inability to recognize objects by touch.
