The prefrontal cortex (PFC), a cortical region that was once thought to be functionally
insignificant, is now known to play an essential role in the organization and control of goal …

Models of attention often distinguish among attention subtypes, with classic models
separating orienting, switching, and sustaining functions. Compared with other forms of …

In 2014, two groups of scientists published open letters on the efficacy of brain-training
interventions, or “brain games,” for improving cognition. The first letter, a consensus …

Normal and abnormal differences in sustained visual attention have long been of interest to
scientists, educators, and clinicians. Still lacking, however, is a clear understanding of how …

Neuropsychiatric illnesses are associated with dysfunction in distributed prefrontal neural
systems that underlie perception, cognition, social interactions, emotion regulation, and …

Introduction In recent decades, new virtual reality (VR)-based protocols have been proposed
for the rehabilitation of Unilateral Spatial Neglect (USN), a debilitating disorder of spatial …

The primary objective of this review article is to summarize how the neuroscience of brain
plasticity, exploiting new findings in fundamental, integrative and cognitive neuroscience, is …

This review illustrates how, after unilateral brain damage, the presence and severity of
spatial awareness deficits for the contralesional hemispace depend greatly on the quantity …

Visual attention unfolds across space and time to prioritize a subset of incoming visual
information. Distinct in key ways from spatial attention, temporal attention is a growing …

Immersive virtual reality (IVR) may boost neglect recovery, as it can provide an engaging
experience in a 3D environment. We designed an IVR rehabilitation game for neglect …
