Oculomotor behaviour in simultanagnosia: a longitudinal case study. Neuropsychologia, 43(11), pp. 1591-7. Oxford: Elsevier 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2005.01.011
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)The aim of the present single case study was to investigate oculomotor recovery in a patient with simultanagnosia due to biparietal hypoxic lesions. Applying visual exploration as well as basic oculomotor tasks in three consecutive test sessions--i.e. 8 weeks, 14 weeks, and 37 weeks after brain damage had occurred--differential recovery was observed. While visual exploration remarkably improved, an impaired disengagement of attention persisted. The improvement of exploration behaviour is interpreted within an oculomotor network theory and implications for a deficit-specific recovery from simultanagnosia are discussed.
