A Review of Multisensory Deficit of Unilateral Neglect / 中国临床心理学杂志

ABSTRACT

We have known that neglect can often be multisensory.This paper reviewed auditory disturbances accompanied by visual neglect.Patients with visual neglect often show deficits in localisation of contralesional single sounds,particularly in the presence of an ipsilesional competitor.Auditory and visual aspects of neglect often correlate in their severity.Recent neuroimaging findings in the normal brain showed that the brain regions damaged in neglect patients might contain multimodal representations of space.
