Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurological soft signs are subtle indicators of non-specific brain dysfunction, which can include difficulties in motor coordination or sensory perception, such as the difficulty in controlling a hand or numbness in the face that Jacob is experiencing. Spatial neglect, neurogenesis, and virilism do not describe these symptoms. Spatial neglect is a condition following brain damage in which the patient ignores one side of space, neurogenesis is the process of generating new neurons, and virilism refers to the development of male physical characteristics in females or prematurely in boys.
