Perception of upright: multisensory convergence and the role of temporo-parietal cortex

A Kheradmand, A Winnick - Frontiers in neurology, 2017 - frontiersin.org
We inherently maintain a stable perception of the world despite frequent changes in the
head, eye, and body positions. Such “orientation constancy” is a prerequisite for coherent …

Pusher syndrome–a frequent but little-known disturbance of body orientation perception

HO Karnath - Journal of neurology, 2007 - Springer
Disturbances of body orientation perception after brain lesions may specifically relate to only
one dimension of space. Stroke patients with “pusher syndrome” suffer from a severe …

Perfusion imaging in Pusher syndrome to investigate the neural substrates involved in controlling upright body position

LF Ticini, U Klose, T Nägele, HO Karnath - PLoS One, 2009 - journals.plos.org
Brain damage may induce a dysfunction of upright body position termed “pusher syndrome”.
Patients with such disorder suffer from an alteration of their sense of body verticality. They …

Pusher syndrome: its cortical correlate

B Baier, J Janzen, W Müller-Forell, M Fechir… - Journal of …, 2012 - Springer
Unilateral stroke can lead to a disorder of postural balance that manifests as a pushing away
