Abstract:
Asymmetry in intermanual transfer of proprioceptive and visual prism adaptation is reviewed, which suggests asymmetric hemispheric representation of left and right space, directional connection from right to left visual hemispheres, and lateralization of limb motor control. Damage to the right visual hemisphere source of the directional connection could produce the general features of unilateral visual neglect.

01:12Visual Agnosia
Visual agnosia is a condition characterized by the inability to recognize visually presented objects despite having normal vision. For instance, a person with visual agnosia can describe the shape and color of an object but cannot identify or name it. This impairment does not affect their visual field, acuity, color vision, brightness discrimination, language, or memory. An example of this condition in a social setting is someone at a dinner party asking for "that silver thing with a round end"...
01:01Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity reflects the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and evolve, responding dynamically to learning, experiences, or injury by reorganizing its neural circuitry. This reorganization involves creating new neural connections and refining old ones through a series of biological processes that contribute to the brain's lifelong development and adaptability.
