TL;DR: This work monitored gaze during search, while simultaneously probing whether observers judged they had found a new target, or judged instead that they were re-fixating a previously examined target, suggesting an impairment in retaining searched locations across saccades in parietal neglect.

TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate preferential activation of an area in its posterior part, the right angular gyrus, during production of exogenously triggered rather than endogenously generated saccades, a finding which is proposed to be consistent with an important role for theangular gyrus in exogenous saccadic orienting.

TL;DR: A patient with a lesion confined largely to the right inferior frontal gyrus was found to be impaired on tests of spatial working memory and executive functioning, but his pattern recognition was good and his selective impairments are consistent with the view that prefrontal cortex contributes to processes involved in spatialWorking memory.

TL;DR: A novel rehabilitation tool for patients with homonymous hemianopia based on a visual search (VS) paradigm that is portable, inexpensive, and easy to deploy is described, suggesting that patients can improve VS with practice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that misjudging previously searched locations for new ones can contribute to pathological search in neglect, with potentially different mechanisms being involved in intraparietal versus inferior frontal patients.
