A complex link exists between vision and unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Firstly, USN is not a perceptual deficit, secondly, USN is not necessarily accompanied by a visual deficit and finally, USN can be observed in non-visual... more
Visual Neglect (VN) is a common neuropsychological deficit associated with a person having a stroke (approximately 1/3/ of cases). Visual neglect is characterised by an inability to notice things on the side contralateral to the stroke... more
The acclaimed Italian directors Luchino Visconti and Federico Fellini had very different life trajectories that led them to become major figures in the history of cinema. Similarities, however, can be found in their debuts with the... more
This work tackles the problem of whether the dissociation between two performances in a single-case study should be computed as the difference between the raw or between the standardized (e.g. z) scores. A wrong choice can lead to serious... more
For many historians, sociologists, and anthropologists of medicine, “disease” and “illness” are not equivalent. Whereas “disease” denotes the physician’s ostensibly objective criteria, “illness” emphasizes the patient’s subjective... more
Spatial neglect (SN) is commonly associated with poor functional outcome. Adaptation to a rightward optical deviation of vision has been shown to benefit to SN rehabilitation. The neurophysiological foundations and the optimal modalities... more
Although dissociations between anosognosia for motor deficit and neglect have been reported, several authors consider anosognosia and neglect as deeply related syndromes. Different techniques, such as optokinetic stimulation, adaptation... more
Neglect dyslexia is a reading disorder often associated with right-sided brain lesions. In reading single words, errors are mostly substitutions or omissions of letters that occupy the left-sided positions. Typically, these errors have... more
In the late 1970's Edoardo Bisiach and his coworkers provided definitive evidence that spatial unilateral neglect involves a disorder of the internal representation of extra-personal space. A few years... more
The critical lesion site responsible for the syndrome of unilatera lspatial neglect has been debated for more than a decade. Here we performed an activation likelihood estimation (ALE) to provide for the first time an objective... more
Recent evidence revealed the importance of inter-hemispheric communication for the compensation of functional deficits after brain damage. This review summarises the biological consequences observed using histology as well as the... more
This article was originally published in the Encyclopedia of Human Behavior published by Elsevier, and the attached copy is provided by Elsevier for the author's benefit and for the benefit of the author's institution, for non-commercial... more
This work tackles the problem of whether the dissociation between two performances in a single-case study should be computed as the difference between the raw or between the standardized (e.g. z) scores. A wrong choice can lead to serious... more
According to the dominant focus model, the differential activation of the thalamocortical network is a sufficient condition for the diversity of states of consciousness to occur, and coherent patterns of interactive forebrain activation... more
According to a longstanding view, inferior as opposed to superior parietal cortex critically contributes to the spatial attentional deficits encountered following unilateral parietal ischemic lesions. We review the evidence on which this... more
In the late 1970's Edoardo Bisiach and his coworkers provided definitive evidence that spatial unilateral neglect involves a disorder of the internal representation of extra-personal space. A few years later Bisiach and Berti (1987)... more
In order to better disentangle 'perceptual' and 'response' biases in neglect patients, Bisiach and his co-workers developed a new version of the 'landmark task'. In their version, subjects are required to choose which is the longer (first... more
Unilateral spatial neglect is defined as a disorder in which a patient fails to pay attention to stimuli presented to the contralateral side of the lesion; it is known to be associated with decreased functional independence. Our objective... more
Recently, several theorists have proposed that we can perceive a range of high-level features, including natural kind features (e.g., being a lemur), artifactual features (e.g., being a mandolin), and the emotional features of others... more
Recent cognitive models of numerical abilities have postulated that number processing may in part rely on a representation of quantities where magnitude is organized by spatial proximity, along a... more
