Abstract:
Abstract: Unilateral damage to a network centered on the
right inferior parietal produces a range of spatial deficits in
humans. Most past research has focused on purely visual aspects of
the deficit, but emerging evidence from physiology and functional
imaging demonstrates important crossmodal interactions in the
critical brain areas. Recent work with neurological patients
suffering unilateral neglect or extinction has begun to reveal
multisensory components to these disorders, and the critical role
of crossmodal integration in the mental representation of space.
These patient findings will be related to the single-cell data and
to new functional imaging findings
