Visual neglect in Parkinson's disease.

C Villardita, P Smirni, G Zappalà

    Archives of Neurology
    |November 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Parkinson's disease patients with bilateral or left-sided subcortical lesions showed visual neglect. This suggests subcortical structures are crucial for attention, with the right hemisphere playing a dominant role.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neurology
    • Cognitive Psychology

    Background:

    • Recent research indicates a link between subcortical lesions and neglect.
    • Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting subcortical structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence and characteristics of visual neglect in Parkinson's disease patients with varying lesion laterality.
    • To explore the role of subcortical structures in attentional mechanisms.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 31 Parkinson's disease patients (categorized by lesion laterality: 14 bilateral, 7 right-sided, 10 left-sided) underwent a visual cancellation test.
    • Assessment focused on identifying patterns of visual neglect.

    Main Results:

    • Visual neglect was exclusively observed in patients with bilateral and left-sided subcortical lesions.
    • No neglect was found in patients with right-sided lesions.

    Conclusions:

    • Subcortical structures are integral to attentional processing.
    • Evidence supports right hemisphere dominance in mediating attentional mechanisms.
