TL;DR: Evidence is provided that portions of the dorsal stream of visual processing, including the right supramarginal gyrus, are involved in spatial encoding in egocentric coordinates, whereas parts of the ventral stream (including the posterior inferior temporal gyrus) are involvement in allocentric encoding.

TL;DR: Increasing age in patients with acute right hemispheric stroke significantly increases the odds of unilateral neglect as well as severity of neglect, independently of size of the stroke or NIH Stroke Scale score.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the critical role of Broca's area in these language functions, at least in this individual who showed selective hypoperfusion and acutely impaired production of grammatical sentences, comprehension of semantically reversible sentences, spelling, and motor planning of speech articulation.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the acute aphasia syndrome may allow the clinician to predict the compromised vascular territory, even when structural imaging shows only a small (or no) infarct.
