Mind you, the parietal lobes is involved in spatial orientation, knowing not only the body where it is in space, but also the spatial layout of the room, right? So it has that component. So it's a really strange disorder. And in order to understand how they are experiencing this at a subjective level is really critical. It's a mystery of sorts.

superior parietal lobule, this area just above it, it's a neighbor, right? It's involved in creating a subjective sense of a self, the feeling that I occupy this body and not somebody else's body, right? So when people have a stroke to that part of the brain,

As you mentioned, they will sometimes throw their hands out, say, this arm doesn't belong to me, it belongs to you, or it belongs to my dad, or it belongs to this person or that person. So literally, they will become delusional. You can play chess with them, you can have conversation, nothing, nothing is wrong. Otherwise, they're not delusional, they're not psychotic or anything like that.

But after they have the stroke affect this region of the brain, they will just say that this arm doesn't belong to me. Or sometimes they might even say, you might ask them, you say, well, they might deny the paralysis. So that's anosognosia, right? So you say, Joe, your arm is paralyzed. They'll say, no, it's not paralyzed. Well, then touch my nose, Joe. And they will say, okay.

And they will take the lifeless arm and lift it like this and say, I'm touching it, doctor. I'm touching it, literally taking it up like that.

So one way to approach this or sort of think about this is that, you know, the left side of the brain, the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere have different functions. I just want to make it clear to the listeners. I know you know this, right? But so they have different functions. So intriguingly, it's only in the right side.
