Focal neurologic signs

Focal neurologic signs also known as focal neurological deficits or focal CNS signs are impairments of nerve, spinal cord, or brain function that affects a specific region of the body, e.g. weakness in the left arm, the right leg, paresis, or plegia.
Focal neurological deficits may be caused by a variety of medical conditions such as head trauma, tumors or stroke; or by various diseases such as meningitis or encephalitis or as a side effect of certain medications such as those used in anesthesia.
Neurological soft signs, are a group of non-focal neurologic signs.
Frontal lobe signs.
Frontal lobe signs usually involve the motor system and may include many special types of deficit, depending on which part of the frontal lobe is affected:
Parietal lobe signs.
Parietal lobe signs usually involve somatic sensation, and may include:
Temporal lobe signs.
Temporal lobe signs usually involve auditory sensation and memory, and may include:
Occipital lobe signs.
Occipital lobe signs usually involve visual sensation, and may include:
Limbic signs.
Damage to the limbic system involves loss or damage to memory, and may include:
Cerebellar signs.
Cerebellar signs usually involve balance and coordination, and may include:
Brainstem signs.
Brainstem signs can involve a host of specific sensory and motor abnormalities, depending on which fiber tracts and cranial nerve nuclei are affected.
Spinal cord signs.
Spinal cord signs generally involve unilateral paralysis with contralateral loss of pain sensation.
Neurological soft signs.
Neurological soft signs (NSS) are a group of minor non-focal neurological signs that include synkinesis. Other soft signs including clumsiness, and loss of fine motor movement are also commonly found in schizophrenia. NSS likely reflect impairments in sensory integration, motor coordination, and the carrying out of complex motor tasks. When associated with schizophrenia the signs stop if clinical symptoms are effectively treated; and a consensus suggests that they may constitute a state marker for schizophrenia.
