I was surprised to see that Philip Anderson’s obituary (Physics Today, June 2020, page 59) did not mention how he viewed the belief held by some in particle physics their field deserves more funding than other areas. Anderson had said, “There is a great arrogance and immodesty about whole field.” The sidelining of disciplines preference contemporary, exotic fields, especially when it comes awar...

Chronic visual neglect prevents brain-damaged patients from returning to an independent and active life. Detecting predictors of persistent neglect as early as possible after the stroke is therefore crucial to plan the relevant interventions. Neglect signs do not only depend on focal brain lesions, but also on dysfunction of large-scale brain networks connected by white matter bundles. We explo...

The neglect syndrome has been defined as a failure to report, respond or orient to novel or meaningful stimuli presented to the side opposite of a brain lesion when this failure can not be attributed to elemental sensory (e.g., hemianopia) or motor (hemiplegia) deficits. This failure to report, respond or orient can be induced by attentional, representation-memory, and intentional deficits. The...
