Hemispatial neglect, a condition affecting spatial attention, may stem from excessive inhibition between brain hemispheres. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) shows promise for treating this attention disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Hemispatial neglect is characterized by impaired exploration and attention to contralateral space post-lesion.
  • Animal models suggest interhemispheric inhibition contributes to neglect, beyond lesion size.
  • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective therapies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review therapeutic approaches for hemispatial neglect.
  • To focus on recent advancements in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for neglect treatment.
  • To explore the potential clinical impact of TMS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on hemispatial neglect.
  • Focus on studies utilizing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
