RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The dissociation of visuospatial neglect and neglect dyslexia. JF Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry JO J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP 1110 OP 1116 DO 10.1136/jnnp.50.9.1110 VO 50 IS 9 A1 Costello, A D A1 Warrington, E K YR 1987 UL http://jnnp.bmj.com/content/50/9/1110.abstract AB A right-handed man with a left hemisphere lesion extending into the right hemisphere, with evidence of both a left-sided neglect dyslexia and right-sided visuospatial neglect is reported. When copying simple geometric designs he omitted to copy figures on the right-hand side of the page, when bisecting lines he tended to bisect the line to the left of the line's actual centre. He had a neglect dyslexia which was characterised by paralexic errors affecting the beginning (that is, left) of words. The occurrence of these two phenomena provides evidence of a dissociation of these forms of neglect. The findings are discussed in relation to the possible mechanisms of unilateral neglect.
