Neuroanatomy of space, body, and posture perception in patients with right hemisphere stroke

Neurology: August 28, 2013

Objective: To specify the neuroanatomical correlates of biases in the representations of the gravitational vertical (subjective vertical [SV]) and body axis (subjective straight ahead [SSA]), as well as postural difficulties, in patients with hemispheric stroke.

Methods: The analysis focused on right hemisphere lesions in 21 neglect patients and 21 non-neglect patients (using MRIcro software) and related performance in 2 experimental tasks (SV and SSA) and a clinical balance assessment. Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping was used to highlight brain areas in which lesions best explained the severity of task biases (p < 0.01).Read  more
