Hi friends! This is my homework for an online course and I need your help to correct the mistakes. It's rather long, so I'll post it in parts.
Hemispatial Neglect
Introduction
Hemispatial neglect is a neuropsychological condition in which, after a brain injury (a tumor or a stroke) to one of the hemispheres, particularly the right one, the awareness of stimuli on the contralateral side, the left one, is reduced, even though there may be no sensory loss.
---
Individuals with a lesion to right parietal cortex:
• Ignore contralesional, left sights, sounds, smells, or tactile stimuli (inattention neglect);
• Ignore the left side of memories, dreams, and hallucinations (representational neglect);
• May not use contralesional, left limb despite the neuromuscular ability to do so;
• Neglect the left side of their peri-personal or extrapersonal space (allocentric neglect);
• Neglect the opposite to the lesion side of their own body (egocentric neglect);
• Cannot turn left or spin counter- clockwise;
• When touched on the affected side may report being touched on the intact side.
• May both neglect objects to the left of their own midline or see all the objects, but neglect the left half of each individual object. This neglect may also occur with slanted, flipped or mirror-image presentations, after they are mentally adjusted.

Sascha Sanderlin, Thanks for the comments. I'm mostly concerned about the grammar mistakes.

There is a lot of medical jargon here that may warrant better word choices. I do not practice medicine and do not know how to help you with the medical jargon. Based on what I see here, there are no errors that need correction. Since you have a checklist at the bottom, those phrases do not need to follow regular sentence patterns.

I do not see anything wrong with the entry, although, I am not a doctor or someone practicing medicine. Therefore, there is jargon here that I do not fully understand. There may be better word choices. If you can find a person that also practices medicine to help you, that would help you the most.
