Only recently has the complex anatomo-functional system underlying numerical cognition
become accessible to evaluation in the living brain. We identified 27 studies investigating …

Several competing theories on the mechanisms underlying attentional control have
emerged over the years that, despite their substantial differences, all emphasize the …

Chronic visual neglect prevents brain-damaged patients from returning to an independent
and active life. Detecting predictors of persistent neglect as early as possible after the stroke …

Right brain damage often provokes deficits of visuospatial attention. Although the spatial
attention networks have been widely investigated in stroke patients as well as in the healthy …

A common and disabling consequence of stroke is the difficulty in processing contralesional
space (ie, hemispatial neglect). According to paper-and-pencil tests, neglect remits or …

The attention system functionally modulates brain activity to exert control over thoughts,
feelings and actions. Three distinct but mutually interacting components of attention have …

Spatial neglect is a devastating disorder in 50–70% of right-brain stroke survivors, who have
problems attending to, or making movements towards, left-sided stimuli, and experience a …

Visual scanning and exploration of natural scenes not only depends on specific objects, but
also on local features. Models of spatial attention propose that features such as orientation …

Over the last decade, many studies have demonstrated that visuospatial working memory
(VSWM) can be divided into separate subsystems dedicated to the retention of visual …

Patients with right hemisphere damage and visual neglect have severe problems to orient
attention towards left-sided objects, often associated with the tendency to produce …
