A main focus of the book concerns left visual neglect, a dramatic but often overlooked consequence of right hemisphere damage, usually of vascular origin, but also resulting from other causes such as neurodegenerative conditions. The study of neglect offers a key to understand the brain?s functioning at the level of large-scale networks, and not only based on discrete anatomical structures. Patients are often unaware of their deficits (anosognosia), and often obstinately deny being hemiplegic. Diagnosis is important because neglect predicts poor functional outcome in stroke. Moreover, effective rehabilitation strategies are available, and there are promising possibilities for pharmacological treatments.  Attention Disorders After Right Brain Damage is aimed at clinical neurologists, medics in physical medicine and rehabilitation, clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists. It will also be useful for graduate students and medical students who wish to understand the topic of attention systems and improve their knowledge of the neurocognitive mechanisms of attentional deficits. In addition, clinical researchers in neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience will find in this book an up to date overview of current research dealing with the attention systems of the human brain. 606 $aNeurology  606 $aClinical psychology 606 $aNeuropsychology 606 $aRehabilitation medicine 606 $aNeurology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H36001 606 $aClinical Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12005 606 $aNeuropsychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12030 606 $aRehabilitation Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H55030 615 0$aNeurology . 615 0$aClinical psychology. 615 0$aNeuropsychology. 615 0$aRehabilitation medicine. 615 14$aNeurology. 615 24$aClinical Psychology. 615 24$aNeuropsychology. 615 24$aRehabilitation Medicine. 676 $a610 676 $a612.8 676 $a612.82 676 $a616.8 700 $aBartolomeo$b Paolo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755339 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300087703321 996 $aAttention Disorders After Right Brain Damage$91521948 997 $aUNINA
