Cognitive Neurology: Stimulating Research on Neglect
نویسنده
چکیده
A recent brain stimulation study provides the first direct physiological evidence that attention deficits after right-hemisphere stroke arise in part from hyper-excitation of neural pathways in the undamaged left hemisphere.

A rodent model for investigating the neurobiology of contralateral neglect.
BACKGROUND Contralateral neglect is a common and disabling sequela of right hemisphere strokes. Neglect involves attentional and cognitive deficits, including distortions of contralateral spatial and personal awareness. There are no established successful therapies for neglect, and treatment is often complicated by anosognosia. The disturbances associated with neglect are debilitating to patien...
متن کاملPerformance of age-matched controls on a battery of visuo-spatial neglect tests.
Examination of 47 independent elderly subjects, matched with a population of patients with acute stroke, found that 55% made at least one omission on a battery of neglect tests. Up to 43% made omissions on any one test. Increasing age and other evidence of cognitive impairment were associated with impaired performance on the battery. Omissions were attributed to an age-related decline in visuo-...
