Pure representational neglect after right thalamic lesion
ORTIGUE S; VIAUDDELMON I; ANNONI JM
ANN NEUROL , 2001, vol. 50, n° 3, p. 401-404 Doc n°: 102609 Localisation : Bibliothèque Universitaire de Médecine de Nancy Descripteurs : AD64 - TROUBLES DE L'ESPACE, DU SCHEMA CORPOREL After a right thalamic stroke, an 86-year-old man presented an acute pure left representational neglect in the absence of any perceptual neglect. On spatial mental imagery tasks, the patient systematically omitted items located on his left side, but only when a vantage point was given. This suggests that (1) pure representational neglect is not just a residual finding after recovery from global (perceptual and representational) neglect; (2) space representation can be coded by two independent processes: in viewer-centered or world-based (allocentric) coordinates; and (3) the right thalamus serves as a relay in the processing of spatial visual imagery.
