Ipsilesional perceptual deficits in hemispatial neglect: Case reports
1Programs in Psychology, Biology, and Cognitive Neuroscience, The Graduate Center, CUNY, New York, NY, USA.
Abstract:
Hemispatial neglect, usually after right hemisphere lesions, is characterized by contralesional deficits in attention and perception. However, little is known about impairments of perceptual processing in the ipsilesional region of visual space (the right visual field for right hemisphere lesions). In two right hemisphere neglect patients, we used a metacontrast masking paradigm to characterize systematic spatial and temporal visual processing deficits in the ipsilesional right visual field. The presence of a visual mask caused the neglect patients to miss targets in ipsilesional space, even when a mask was presented as long as 1.5 sec after the target and in a different spatial position. These prolonged and spatially extended masking effects were not measured in age-matched healthy controls or in two control patients with hemianopsia but without neglect. The results show that perceptual processing is distorted and delayed in a region of the visual field that has been thought to be unaffected - the ipsilesional hemifield in patients with neglect.
