A new case of representational neglect.
We describe a right-handed female patient who, after a right-hemisphere stroke, showed a florid representational neglect, but no evidence of perceptual neglect. This finding provides further support for the argument that orienting attention to the representational and perceptual spatial domains is subserved by independent neural mechanisms.
