A simple test of visual neglect
1.3K
TL;DR: A simple, clinically useful test for visual neglect is explained and the results of this test, which was standardized with normal subjects and presented to patients with unilateral cerebral lesions, shed light on the nature of visual neglect.

Abstract: “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.” SCHOPENHAUER, Psychological Observations: Studies in Pessimism . The primary purpose of this paper is to explain a simple, clinically useful test for visual neglect. The results of this test, which was standardized with normal subjects and presented to patients with unilateral cerebral lesions, shed light on the nature of visual neglect. In this paper the term “visual neglect” refers to a defective and, therefore, a reduced ability to attend to one or more components of the visual world.

A kinematic analysis of distractor interference effects during visually guided action in spatial neglect.
TL;DR: It is concluded that right hemisphere damage induces a competitive bias that favors actions to ipsilesional targets within the visuomotor system, from initial programming through to the final stages of terminal guidance.
Unilateral neglect: the fate of the extinguished visual stimuli.
TL;DR: Six right brain-damaged patients with USN and one control subject were presented with single lateralized visual stimuli and with pairs of same or different visual stimuli, to unveil possible phenomena of covert knowledge.
Combining language and space: sentence bisection in unilateral spatial neglect.
TL;DR: In visuo-manual sentence bisection a basic linguistic mechanism, such as sentence readability, brings about a more leftward appreciation of the stimulus, reducing the neglect patients' rightward bias.

A Computational Model of Neglect Dyslexia
TL;DR: This paper presents a straightforward theory of neglect (a pre-attentive salience system selects objects' centers for the focus of an attentional "spotlight") as a computational model that permits simulations of model "lesions" and allows checking unequivocally the model's implications.

Dosage and predictors of arm practice during inpatient stroke rehabilitation: an inception cohort study.
TL;DR: The amount of arm practice completed by stroke survivors during inpatient rehabilitation was low and daily sessions were often not provided as recommended in clinical guidelines.

Les Manifestations De Negligence et D'inattention Pour L'hemispace
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the possible existence of unilateral spatial agnosia in patients with unilateral brain damage and found that A.S.U. is significantly more frequent among right brain-damaged patients.
