Left-sided spatial neglect is a common neurological syndrome following right-hemispheric stroke. The presence of spatial neglect is a powerful predictor of poor rehabilitation outcome. In one influential account of spatial neglect, interhemispheric inhibition is impaired and leads to a pathological hyperactivity in the contralesional hemisphere, resulting in a biased attentional allocation towa...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hemispatial neglect is among the most common and disabling consequences of right hemisphere stroke. A variety of variables have been associated with the presence or severity of neglect but have not evaluated the independent effects of location, severity, and volume of ischemia. Few have determined areas involved in different types of neglect. We identified the contributio...

Much to our regret we recognise, that our recently published data and considerations based on these facts were substantially misunderstood in the present comment of John Marshall and colleagues (this volume). First, we must reject the assumption, that our work “confirms that unilateral visuo-spatial neglect can result from lesions of right temporal cortex and from lesion of right parietal corte...

Patients with right-sided temporo-parietal lesions often show contralesional neglect. However, neglect patients may also show spatial-perceptual deficits beyond the bisection and space exploration deficits frequently assessed in the horizontal plane, that is, deficits in the judgment of the subjective visual vertical or horizontal. In a recent study (Kerkhoff, G. & Zoelch, C.. Disorders of visu...

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Psychological Maltreatment (PM) and Neglect subscales of the Computer Assisted Maltreatment Inventory (CAMI; DiLillo et al., 2010). The CAMI is a retrospective self-report measure that assesses multiple forms of child maltreatment (i.e., sexual, physical, psychological, neglect, exposure to interparental viol...

objective: the aim of the present study was to estimate the pooled prevalence of different types of child abuse in iran. method: we systematically searched four english databases (pubmed, sciencedirect, psychinfo and scopus), and three farsi databases (magiran, iranmedex and sid) to find out relevant articles that have reported the prevalence of child abuse in iran. studies conducted on special...

Hemispatial neglect is a common and disabling consequence of stroke. Earlier studies aimed to identify a single area of the brain where damage caused neglect and sought a single disrupted process that could account for the symptoms. Recent studies have shifted toward identifying component processes and representations underlying spatial attention required for various tasks and identifying areas...

Self-neglect is a serious and burgeoning public health challenge representing the most common problem faced by Adult Protective Services agencies. Among older adults who are vulnerable to self-neglect, the capacity to make decisions may remain intact. However, the capacity to identify and extract oneself from harmful situations, circumstances, or relationships may be diminished. A key ethical a...

To understand the effects of neglectful parenting, poor supervision, and punitive parenting in the development of children's aggression, 218 children ages 4 to 8 years who were disadvantaged and their mothers were recruited from two states to develop a sample that was diverse with respect to degree of urbanization and ethnicity. Multimethod and multisource indices of the predictive constructs (...
