but also to cope with sudden, unforeseen events. Attention processes rely on the …

In our previous study, we have demonstrated a right hemisphere superiority in executive
control of attention, with the right hemisphere being more efficient in dealing with conflict for …

Background Most neglect treatment studies focus on automatic re-orientation procedures,

The right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) and insula both play a key role for the processing
of relevant stimuli. However, while both have been conceived as neural “switches” that …

Objective: Patients with unilateral stroke commonly show hemispatial neglect or milder
contralesional visuoattentive deficits, but spatially non-lateralized visuoattentive deficits …

People with left unilateral spatial neglect (USN) following a right brain lesion show difficulty
in orienting their attention toward stimuli presented on the left. However, cuing the stimuli …

Large-scale neural systems in the human brain allow us to prioritize the processing of
external information according to our goals, and to efficiently manage sudden, unforeseen …
