Hemispheric Neglect Unilateral Neglect: failure to attend to (or represent) sensory information in the left (contralesional) side of space, following right brain parietal injury.
Neglect as a deficit in representation • Bisiach & Luzzati (1978): imagining a familiar scene (e.g., central square of Milan), from opposite view points
Parietal lesions in the right hemisphere are commonly associated with left field neglect Yellow: the lesion typically involves the supramarginal gyrus at the temporoparietal junctionRed: variation in the exact extent of the lesionDriver and Mattinagley, NNS, 1998
Common tests for Visual Neglect • Drawing from memory
Neglect can be in egocentric and/or allocentric reference frames
