In visual hemi-neglect, non-spatial deficits such as reduced intrinsic alertness can
significantly modulate the degree of left visual field inattention. However, to date, the precise …

The effects of a 3-week computerised alertness training on chronic (> 3 months) visuospatial
hemineglect were investigated prospectively in seven patients by means of …

Purpose: It has been proposed that the right hemisphere alerting network co-activates, either
directly or via the brainstem, the spatial attention system in the parietal cortex. The …

The distribution of spatial attention across the horizontal meridian of the visual field, as
assessed by a simple reaction time (RT) paradigm, is dramatically abnormal in neglect …

Many aspects of spatial neglect can be explained as arising from competition for attentional
selection, with salient ipsilesional stimuli emerging as the winner more often than …

Left unilateral spatial neglect resulting from right brain damage is characterized by loss of
awareness for stimuli in the contralesional side of space, despite intact visual pathways. We …

We prospectively investigated by means of neuropsychological tests and functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) the behavioural and neural effects of a 3-week …

Introduction: Unilateral spatial neglect is typically associated with a spatial attention deficit,
as neglect patients fail to respond to objects in their contralesional hemispace. However …

Deficits of contralesional space awareness (neglect and extinction) often follow right
hemisphere damage and are typically attributed to the disruption of neurocognitive …

Hemispatial neglect is a debilitating disorder marked by a constellation of spatial and non-
spatial attention deficits. Patients' alertness deficits have shown to interact with lateralized …
