The song doesn’t lead to any changes in her physiology the first time she hears it, but she decides that she’s always going to listen to this same song right before her games that season. After the season is over, the song once again comes on while Patrice is studying, and she’s surprised to find that as soon as she hears the song, her heart rate and breathing rate suddenly increase just like they typically would right before a basketball game.

The patient draws the images in Panel A of image below (i.e., omits the left side of both the clock and the house). Jodie also asks the patient to read all the words in Panel B of the image below. The patient responds, “Shovel, Motor, Step, Door” (i.e., only reads the words on the right side of the paper). Jodie then says, it looks like you missed some and points to the left side of the paper. The patient responds, “Oh, I didn’t even notice those!” Based upon the behavior above, the brain region that Jodie would suspect had been damaged by the stroke is marked with the letter _____ in the image below.
