TL;DR: The performance of these patients serves to illustrate the dissociation between the motoric and linguistic faculties that underlie writing but also confirms that ideomotor limb apraxia and apraxic agraphia are distinct and dissociable entities.

TL;DR: The eye movements in an experimental subject with left premotor-intentional neglect were directed to the right end of the line without any scanning or leftward eye movement back to the center of the Line bisection test.

TL;DR: The descriptive precision of the power function uncovered qualitative variability in how normal subjects allocate attention across different spatial reference frames and demonstrated that this patient had a quantitative defect in directing attention across an allosteric reference frame, but a qualitative defect in directed attention across a viewer/environment reference frame.

TL;DR: The results support a defective attentional floodlight in neglect, as two patients with neglect after right hemisphere stroke performed more poorly than normal control subjects and left hemisphere-damaged control subjects as the area of spread in the gap increased.

TL;DR: In the primary position of gaze, a patient with an ischemic lesion of the right occipital and temporal lobes, who was without unilateral spatial neglect, was unable to detect finger movement, name objects, or identify shapes or colors in the left retinotopic hemifield, but when gazing 30° to the right, he performed nearly as well in the right hemispheric field.
