SUMMARY
"Cortical" sensory signs are often present with parietal lesions:
1. Contralateral hemisensory loss
2. Contralateral loss of 2-point discrimination
3. Tactile agnosia
4. Agraphesthesia: inability to recognize letters drawn on the palm
5. Sensory inattention/neglect: failure to perceive tactile stimuli on the opposite side of the involved hemisphere when stimuli are presented to both sides simultaneously
