Neglect
Neglect is a perceptual disorder in which parts of the body or stimuli are ignored due to a brain lesion. The disorder affects the sides opposite the brain lesion. It usually occurs after lesions in the right parietal lobe. Accordingly, visual, auditory, and somatosensory stimuli on the left side are ignored.

Secondary somatosensory cortex
The posterior parietal lobe receives input from numerous other cortex areas - this is where visual, auditory and proprioceptive signals are integrated into a whole, enabling orientation and movement in space. The S2 cortex, located posterior and ventral to S1, is also involved in the conscious processing of pain.
