Summation of rapid tactile stimuli in parietal lobe disease.
The perception threshold for trains of rapid tactile pulses, applied to the index finger, has been measured in patients with parietal lobe lesions and in patients with median nerve lesions. The former patients had increased perception thresholds for single tactile pulses on the abnormal side. With successively prolonged pulse trains, the threshold decreased exponentially to reach a stable level...
متن کاملA sensitive test for tactile extinction: results in patients with parietal and frontal lobe disease.
A simple test for detecting tactile extinction is described. In a population of parietal-damaged patients it yielded fewer false negatives than the classical clinical procedure. Contrary to expectations, lesions confined to the right frontal lobe produced no extinction, while those in right-handed, left frontal cases revealed ipsilateral extinction with the new test.
متن کاملTactile apraxia: unimodal apractic disorder of tactile object exploration associated with parietal lobe lesions.
Tactile apraxia is characterized by an isolated disturbance of hand movements for use of and interaction with an object (transitive movements) in the presence of preserved intransitive movements (movements without use of an object, for example repetitive movements or gestures). It is, however, still unclear whether motor and sensory abnormalities represent causal or associated features of tacti...
متن کاملParietal lobe activation in rapid, automatized naming by adults.
Three automatic naming tasks (Wiig & Nielsen, 1999) were administered to 60 normally functioning adults. The mean time required for naming 40 single-dimension (colors, forms, numbers, and letters) and 40 dual-dimension stimuli (color-form, color-number, and color-letter combinations) were compared in young (17-38 yr.) and older (40-68 yr.) men and women. Analysis of variance for the combined gr...
متن کاملFunctional integration of parietal lobe activity in early Alzheimer disease.
OBJECTIVES Parietal lobe dysfunction is an important characteristic of early Alzheimer disease (AD). Functional studies have shown conflicting parietal activation patterns indicative of either compensatory or dysfunctional mechanisms. This study aimed at examining activation differences in early AD using a visuospatial task. We focused on functional characteristics of the parietal lobe and exam...
