Horizontal visual motion modulates focal attention in left unilateral spatial neglect.
Patients with unilateral spatial neglect are impaired in directing focal attention toward the contralesional side of space. Provision of static spatial cues on the neglected side has previously been shown to help overcome this deficit. Common movement of visual stimuli may also guide the allocation of spatial attention, although such effects have not been examined in patients with unilateral sp...

متن کاملWhy are some patients with severe neglect able to copy a cube? The significance of verbal intelligence.
Cube-copying is often used to assess constructional ability of brain-damaged patients and the influence of unilateral spatial neglect is often pointed out in patients with right hemisphere lesions. However, some patients with severe neglect perform cube-copying satisfactorily. The aim of the present study is to identify the factors that affect the performance of cube-copying in patients with le...
متن کاملAcute versus chronic functional aspects of unilateral spatial neglect.
This article reviews the impact of unilateral spatial neglect on daily living ("functional") activities. Its disturbances on basic functional activities, such as feeding, grooming, and locomotion, are easily identifiable. Patients with neglect frequently lack insight into their disorder and do not initiate compensatory behaviors, which probably impedes recovery. Simple standard tests of neglect...
متن کاملLanguage-specific Dysgraphia in Korean Patients with Right Brain Stroke: Influence of Unilateral Spatial Neglect
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between Korean language-specific dysgraphia and unilateral spatial neglect in 31 right brain stroke patients. All patients were tested for writing errors in spontaneous writing, dictation, and copying tests. The dysgraphia was classified into visuospatial omission, visuospatial destruction, syllabic tilting, stroke omission, s...
