A right-handed, 78-year-old man presents with slowly progressive cognitive changes. During mental status testing, he is asked to draw several different animals, yet all his drawings look essentially the same: a head, four legs, and a tail with no other distinguishing features. He is, however, able to draw intersecting pentagons accurately. Dysfunction of which of the following cortical regions is likely responsible for his difficulty in distinctly drawing different animals?
