Right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) is the result of injury to the right cerebral hemisphere.[1] The right hemisphere of the brain coordinates tasks for functional communication, which include problem solving, memory, and reasoning.[1] Deficits caused by right hemisphere brain damage vary depending on the location of the damage.[2]
