This review examines personal neglect following brain injury, highlighting its controversial aspects and association with hemisphere lesions. Further research is needed for precise diagnosis and understanding of body representation disruptions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Personal neglect, a consequence of brain injury, is often under-researched compared to extrapersonal neglect.
  • Understanding personal neglect is crucial for comprehensive patient care and rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current research on personal neglect, including assessment methods, neural correlates, and its relationship with extrapersonal neglect.
  • To explore recent findings and controversies surrounding personal neglect after brain injury.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review of 81 papers published in PubMed and PsychInfo databases until January 2018.
  • Analysis of studies involving 2247 patients with brain injury and personal neglect.

Main Results:

  • Various aspects of personal neglect remain controversial with potentially contradictory outcomes.
  • Personal neglect is frequently linked to right hemisphere lesions, but the left hemisphere also plays a role.
  • Personal neglect and extrapersonal neglect often co-occur but can also dissociate functionally and anatomically.

Conclusions:

  • Recent interpretations suggest personal neglect may stem from disrupted body representation.
  • Developing standardized psychometric tools is essential for accurate diagnosis and differentiation of personal neglect.
