title: Implications of prism adaptation asymmetry for unilateral visual neglect: theoretical note.
abstract: Asymmetry in intermanual transfer of proprioceptive and visual prism adaptation is reviewed, which suggests asymmetric hemispheric representation of left and right space, directional connection from right to left visual hemispheres, and lateralization of limb motor control. Damage to the right visual hemisphere source of the directional connection could produce the general features of unilateral visual neglect.
