Callosal section in patients with right hemisphere injury may worsen spatial neglect and motor deficits. This finding supports the compensation hypothesis over the interhemispheric inhibition model of neglect.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neurology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • The interhemispheric inhibition model suggests the uninjured hemisphere inhibits the injured one, while the compensation hypothesis posits the uninjured hemisphere aids the damaged one.
  • Testing these models is crucial for understanding attentional biases and developing treatments for neurological deficits.

Observation:

  • A patient with a history of right hemisphere damage underwent corpus callosum sectioning due to intractable seizures.
  • Pre-existing neurological deficits were absent prior to the callosal section.

Findings:

  • One year post-surgery, the patient exhibited significant leftward spatial neglect, including diminished spontaneous saccades, hypometric leftward saccades, and left gaze impersistence.
  • Additional deficits included left arm hemispatial limb akinesia, unilateral spatial neglect, and motor and cognitive impersistence.

Implications:

  • Callosal sectioning in individuals with right hemisphere injuries may induce or exacerbate hemispatial neglect and motor-intentional deficits.
  • These results challenge the interhemispheric inhibition model and lend support to the compensation hypothesis.
  • Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and clinical implications of callosal sectioning in neurological conditions.
