Visual neglect is a multi-component syndrome including prominent attentional disorders.
Research on the functional mechanisms of neglect is now moving from the description of …

Seminal case reports collected during the middle part of the XX century, designated the
parietal lobe as the principal area of damage in patients suffering from contralesional spatial …

Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a neurological disorder often observed following damage
to the right cerebral hemisphere. Patients with USN are no longer able to take into account …

Although no neuron is exclusively devoted to attention, all areas of the cerebral cortex
display attentional modulations, which are more prominent in downstream components of …

The neural mechanisms underlying spatial neglect are still disputed. Abnormal left parietal
hyperactivation is proposed to lead to the rightward attentional bias, a clinical hallmark of …

Orienting toward new and interesting events, searching for targets embedded among
distractors and the mental scanning of internally represented scenes are among the …

Unilateral visual neglect is commonly defined as impaired ability to attend to stimuli
presented on the side of visual space contralateral to the brain lesion. However, behavioral …

Visual neglect is a heterogeneous, multi-component syndrome resulting from right
hemisphere damage. Neglect patients do not pay attention to events occurring on their left …

Functional imaging studies of spatial attention regularly report activation of the intraparietal
sulcus (IPS) and dorsal premotor cortex including the frontal eye fields (FEF) in tasks …

Neuroimaging studies investigated the attentional systems of the human brain revealing two
networks, one for voluntary allocation of attention and another for stimulus-driven attentional …
