Dissociable visual and spatial impairments following right posterior cerebral lesions: clinical, neuropsychological and anatomical evidence.
A double dissociation of visual and spatial performance is reported in two men with chronic focal missile injuries of the right cerebral hemisphere. The clinical, neuropsychological and post-mortem anatomical data are considered in relation to evidence from physiological research of two major cortico-cortical pathways for object-recognition and spatial perception.
