This book provides an overview of attentional impairments in
brain-damaged patients from both clinical and neuroscientific
perspectives, and aims to offer a comprehensive, succinct treatment
of these topics useful to both clinicians and scholars. A main
focus of the book concerns left visual neglect, a dramatic but
often overlooked consequence of right hemisphere damage, usually of
vascular origin, but also resulting from other causes such as
neurodegenerative conditions. The study of neglect offers a key to
understand the brain's functioning at the level of large-scale
networks, and not only based on discrete anatomical structures.
Patients are often unaware of their deficits (anosognosia), and
often obstinately deny being hemiplegic. Diagnosis is important
because neglect predicts poor functional outcome in stroke.
Moreover, effective rehabilitation strategies are available, and
there are promising possibilities for pharmacological treatments.
Attention Disorders After Right Brain Damage is aimed at clinical
neurologists, medics in physical medicine and rehabilitation,
clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists. It will also be
useful for graduate students and medical students who wish to
understand the topic of attention systems and improve their
knowledge of the neurocognitive mechanisms of attentional deficits.
In addition, clinical researchers in neuropsychology and cognitive
neuroscience will find in this book an up to date overview of
current research dealing with the attention systems of the human
brain.
