The anatomy of spatial neglect based on voxelwise statistical analysis: a study of 140 patients.

Journal article

A major challenge for any anatomical study of spatial neglect in neurological patients is that human lesions vary tremendously in extent and location between individuals. Approaches to this problem used in previous studies were to focus on subgroups of patients that are more homogeneous either with respect to the branch territory affected by the stroke or with respect to existing additional neurological symptoms (e.g. additional visual field defects). It could be argued that such strategies m...
