Abstract:
Though the neglect syndrome is often observed in clinical practice, there are few studies investigating its mechanisms or developing new therapeutic approaches. Most studies on attention were conducted in healthy subjects. In this paper I provide functional neuroimaging data about functional networks for stimuli perception independently from their modality. Additionally, the restoration of stimulus perception and its modulation through emotion are discussed.

Functional Brain Systems: Reticular Formation
Within the reticular formation, there are several distinct nuclei that can be classified into three broad categories. The Raphe nuclei are located along the midline of the brainstem. They are primarily known for their role in synthesizing and releasing serotonin, a neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, appetite, sleep, and circadian rhythms. The...
Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
