Neglect is a clinically relevant deficit of spatial awareness which potentiates sensory and motor dysfunction and complicates the rehabilitation of patients with brain lesions. As a cognitively well defined disorder, neglect allows deep insights into the functioning of the human brain. When compared to lesion studies which associate structural brain damage with neglect symptoms, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows for the investigation of cortical dysfunction in structurally intact areas which are indirectly affected by the lesions. Moreover, cortical reorganisation during functional recovery and rehabilitation can be monitored. In spite of an increasing knowledge of specific neglect-associated processes and deficits, the main aspects of this syndrome have not yet been thoroughly clarified. |
