UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
 Many
Names:
Unilateral
M
N
U il t l Spatial
S ti l Neglect,
N l t Hemi-Neglect,
H iN l t
Unilateral Spatial Inattention
 Involuntary failure, or reduced ability to attend or respond
to meaningful sensory stimuli presented in the affected
hemi-field
 As opposed to a hemianopsia, it is not caused by a defect
p
y
in the Geniculo-Striate pathway
 May or may not be accompanied by hemiplegia and
y
hemianopsia
p
homonymous
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
 Usually the result of a right parietal lobe lesion, but it can
occur as a result of damage in many other areas of the
cortex
 Stroke is the most common cause
 Mechanism

 May affect Personal Space (body image), Peri-Personal
Space (within arms reach) or Extra Personal Space
(outside of arms reach)
 Neglect may be complete or relative

 Sometimes may only occur with simultaneous presentation

)
 May present with any combination of visual, auditory or tactile
stimuli
 More devastating, but also more remediable than a visual field
defect
 The presence of neglect more than 3 months post stroke is a
major predictor of Activities for Daily Living (ADL) abilities

PREDICTOR OF TREATEMENT OUTCOMES
VISUAL SPATIAL INATTENTION
VISUAL-SPATIAL
AND
ACTIVITIES FOR DAILY LIVING (ADL)
 Study by Katz , Hartman-Maeir, et. al, 1999
 Conducted at the School of Occupational Therapy, Hebrew University
of Jerusalem, Israel
 Objective was to evaluate the impact of unilateral spatial neglect
(USN) on the rehabilitation outcome and long-term functioning in
activities of daily living (ADL) in right hemisphere damaged stroke
patients
 Assessed sensory-motor
sensory motor and cognitive impairment and functional
disability upon admission to rehabilitation, upon discharge from
rehabilitation hospital and 6 months after discharge

VISUAL-SPATIAL
AND
ACTIVITIES FOR DAILY LIVING (ADL)
Results:
 Neglect is associated with lower performance on measures of
impairment (sensory-motor and cognitive), as well as on measures
of disability in ADL
 Differences were significant in all testing periods admission,
discharge, and 6 months post discharge
 The recovery pattern for patients with USN is slower and more
attenuated
 USN is the major predictor of rehabilitation o
outcome

to follow-up
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
PROPOSED MECHANISMS
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
Vallar & Perani, 1986
 Considerable evidence that damage to the inferior parietal
lobule (IPL), more than any other brain region, produces the
classic symptoms of neglect
 Region of the IPL appears to be at the apex of a multistage
cortical processing stream
 IPL receives inputs from subcortical structures that carry
ocularmotor and attentional signals
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
Vallar & Perani, 1986
 IPL integrates
i t
t somatic,
ti visual,
i
l and
d movementt information
i f
ti
 IPL appears to be one of the primary cortical regions
governing attention
 The IPL is thought to be part of the ventral stream
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
Milner and Goodale, 1995:
• Superior parietal lobe is part of dorsal stream which mediates control
of goal directed actions
• Lesions restricted to the superior parietal lobe lead to disturbances
in visuomotor control (optic ataxia)
• Lesions of the inferior parietal lobe lead to spatial neglect
• Due to damage to areas which deals with abstract spatial reasoning,
based on input from the ventral stream which permits the formation of
perceptual
p
p
and cognitive
g
representations
p
which embody
y the enduring
g
characteristics of objects and their significance
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
Perenin, 1997:
• Superior part of the parietal cortex is involved with direct
coding of space for action
• Inferior part or parietal lobe is responsible for more
enduring and conscious representations underlying spatial
cognition
cog
t o and
a d awareness
a a e ess
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
Karnath, 1997:
• The brain uses inputs from various afferent channels to
elaborate a unitary representation of egocentric space
• Neglect due to an altered representation of body
body-centered
centered
space
• In
I neglect
l t the
th coordinate
di t transformation
t
f
ti
has
h a systematic
t
ti
error that results in deviation of the spatial reference to the
ipsilateral side
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
Kinsbourne, 1987:
• Orientation is not intact in in either right or left hemispace
• A lateral gradient of attention sweeps across both
hemispheres
• There a gradient of severity of the neglect across the entire
visual field
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
Rizzolatti and Berti, 1990:
• Neglect results from a lesion in higher order spatial maps
• There is gradient of severity across the visual field with a
maximum severity in the in the extreme contralateral
hemifield to a minimum severity in the extreme ipsilateral
field
UNILATERAL SPATIAL INATTENTION (NEGLECT)
Summary of Research:
• Many varied presentations of USI depending on the specific brain
( ) involved
area(s)
• Inferior parietal lobule (IPL), more than any other brain region,
produces the classic symptoms of neglect. However, it must be
remembered that many different cortical areas may produce neglect
• May present as problems with various functions and areas of space
- Body image
- Visuo-motor control
- Cognition
- Attention
• USI appears to manifest as a biased gradient of attention across the
entire visual field

Caution!
 Study by Ferber & Karnath, 2001
 Examined validity of a line bisection test and four cancellation tests
 Found that the line bisection test missed 40% of the neglect patients
 Cancellation tests only missed 6% of the subjects
 Deviations in line bisection may be indicative of other conditions,
such as hemianopia
 Conclusions: Result calls into question line bisection tests as a valid
assessments tool and confirmed the use of cancellation tests

The Line Bisection Cross Out Task (by Suter)
 In deep neglect, the patient will neglect to bisect the lines on one
side of the paper
 In lesser neglect, the patient will bisect all of the lines, but the lines
greater than 5 cm in length will be bisected away from the neglected
field
 Ap
patient with a hemianopsia

tends to bisect the line
toward the blind field, as if they are aware of the defect and
overcompensate in the process

Line Bisection Cross
Out Task
The Line Bisection Cross Out Task (by Suter)
 There is a caveat to the right-left bisection bias… a patient with a
hemianopsia plus neglect may bisect the lines accurately
 Do not get out your ruler to score. Healthy normal subjects seem to
show a slight bias to left side, so if you score with a ruler, everyone
will be a neglect suspect
 If truly present, the differences should be easily discerned by
“eyeballing” the sheet

1998 continued
 In the study, using Yoked Prisms, the positive effect was a minimum
of two
t o hours,
ho rs as compared to other treatments where
here the effects
lasted no more than 10-12 minutes
 Positive effect were found for both sensorimotor and cognitive
spatial functions
 “The prisms do not merely act as a passive modifier of sensory
afferents (like caloric, vibrational, or optokinetic stimulation), but
can be seen as stimulating active processes involved in the
plasticity of sensorimotor correspondences by activating brain
functions related to multisensory integration and space
representation.”
YOKED PRISM (PRISM ADAPTATION) FOR VISUAL-SPATIAL INATTENTION
Study by Rossetti, et. al 1998…continued
Postulated mechanisms to account for the strong improvement in
patients with neglect:
 Stimulation of short-term p
plasticity
y of brain functions related to spatial
p
transformations and spatial representation may favor the neural
restoration of the right hemispheric functions when they have been
impaired by a lesion
 Exposure alters the coordinate transformations used by the nervous
system to represent extrapersonal space

Some conclusions by the authors of the study:
 “The dramatic improvement induced by prism adaptation suggests

p
that a signal
 “An attractive aspect of the prism exposure lies in it’s non-invasive
nature, acceptability to patients, and ease of use”
 “The duration of the effects, owing to central active process being
activated, indicates that this technique may come top have a major role

Study by Kerkhoff, Keller 2006
Kerkhoff and associates offered two compatible hypothesis for
effect of OKN on Neglect
 OKN facilitates the directing of attention toward the neglected
regions of space. The improved attention allocation leads to
improved exploration of leftward space
 Leftward OKN facilitates more accurate egocentric space
representation by providing visual directional input thereby
influencing spatial perception and attention
