Impaired visual search is a hallmark of spatial neglect. When searching for an unique feature (e.g., color) neglect patients often show only slight visual field asymmetries. In contrast, when the ...

Vertical neglect represents a visuospatial deficit occurring as a possible consequence of acquired brain injury (ABI). Differently from unilateral spatial neglect on horizontal space, vertical neglect ...

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between overt and covert orienting of attention in visual neglect patients with parietal and fronto-parietal lesions. Two stimuli ...

The true incidence of visuospatial neglect, impaired attention toward contralesional space, remains unclear. Common variability sources are sensitivity differences of conventional assessments and the ...

Researchers in the UK have shown that guanfacine could help to combat leftward spatial exploration deficit in patients with visual neglect due to right-hemisphere stroke. The noradrenergic modulator ...

Background and Purpose—Visual neglect is a frequent disability in stroke and adversely affects mobility, discharge destination, and length of hospital stay. It is assumed that its severity is enhanced ...

Imagine struggling to see, listen, or make movements in half of your environment. This is typical for individuals who suffer from unilateral spatial neglect, a common post-stroke deficit of attention ...

Abstract: Patients with hemispatial neglect fail to respond to stimuli on one side of space. We assessed to what extent the complexity and number of visual stimuli on both sides determine the severity ...

The American Journal of Psychology, Vol. 111, No. 4 (Winter, 1998), pp. 487-507 (21 pages) Neglect patients do not respond to stimuli presented on the side of space contralateral to the side of their ...
