Neglect Flashcards
Neglect patients reply to the wrong side if approached on contralesional side - ignore food, features etc.
Karnath 1997
Series of self-portraits documented how the left side of the image is rarely copied
Anton Räderscheidt
Motor neglect - fail to use contralesional limbs
Laplane and Degos 1983
Perform better on line bisection task when told to cued to attend to the left side (coloured stickers)
Riddoch and Humphreys 1983
Cueing task: slower to attend to cues in contralesional area
Posner et al. 1984
Neglect is an Attentional deficit - abnormal interaction between brain networks controlling attention
Corbetta and Schulman 2011
Probability of eye movements increase towards the ipsilesional side- abnormally high saliency means it can’t be ignored - disruption in the visual cortex
Bays et al. 2010
Uncoupled hand movements from attention in a line bisection task- separating perceptual and premotor factors: premotor factors were more pronounced with frontal lobe lesions
Bisiach et al. 1990
STM component to neglect - eye tracking, repeatedly return to cues and biased to right hand side (L’s not T’s)
Hussain et al. 2001
Describe square in Milan- representation changed depending on where they imagined standing “representational neglect”
Bisiach and Luzatti 1978
Evidence for heterogeneity in line bisection tasks- most could be classified as premotor/perceptual, but no consistent categorisation
Harvey et al. 2002
Failure to report/respond/orient to stimuli on contralesional side
Heilman et al. 1985
