Morphological Differences in the Parietal Lobes within the Human Genus (2010, background): “Interestingly, this spatial deficit is associated with the upper parietal areas, but the injuries are often recorded at the lower parietal structures (supramarginal gyrus) or even at the upper temporal districts (Karnath, Ferber, and Himmelbach 2001).”
Eccentricity bias as an organizing principle for human high-order object areas. (2002, neutral): “sibility is that the letter/word lateralization is secondary to the strong lateralization observed for faces so that Is There a Specialized Module for Character the right hemispheric bias for faces “pushes” the activaRecognition? tion to letter strings into the left hemisphere (for examDoes the pref”
Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain (2002, background): “In cases without a visual field deficit, the right superior temporal gyrus is the most common site of damag”
Typologies of attentional networks (2006, background): “Lesions of the temporoparietal junction and superior temporal lobe disrupt the ability to disengage from a particular locatio”
The anatomy of spatial neglect based on voxelwise statistical analysis: a study of 140 patients. (2004, methodology): “In a recent article by Mort et al. (2003), the authors criticized that the lesions in the study of Karnath et al. (2001) still were demarcated by hand onto standard template images.”
Modeling the Impact of Lesions in the Human Brain (2009, background): “Empirically, the left angular gyrus (near L810) has been implicated in dyslexia [42], while lesions centered on the posterior portion of the right superior temporal cortex (near L472) often result in spatial hemineglect [43].”
Breakdown of functional connectivity in frontoparietal networks underlies behavioral deficits in spatial neglect. (2007, neutral): “…damage of specific brain structures (inferior parietal lobule [IPL; Mort et al., 2003; Vallar and Perani, 1987], superior temporal gyrus [STG; Karnath et al., 2001, 2004], subcortical nuclei [Karnath et al., 2002; Vallar and Perani, 1987], and the inferior frontal cortex [Husain and Kennard,…”
Parietal cortex and attention. (2004, background): “Using a similar technique to their previous study [35], the authors identified the subcortical regions involved in neglect.”
Neural Systems for Visual Orienting and Their Relationships to Spatial Working Memory (2002, background): “This paradox has been recently exacerbated by a recent report that localizes spatial deficits in neglect, in the absence of visual field deficits, to the STG ( Karnath, Ferber, & Himmelbach, 2001 ).”
Neural correlates of hemispheric dominance and ipsilaterality within the vestibularsystem (2008, positive): “Patients with temporal and parietal lesions that typically cause visuospatial hemineglect show a right hemispheric predominance (Johnston and Diller, 1986; Hornak, 1992; Vallar and Perani, 1986; Karnath et al., 1998; 2001).”
Two different streams form the dorsal visual system: anatomy and functions (2003, result): “Pointing in this direction are some recent clinical data showing that lesions centered on the acoustic “parabelt” areas of the temporal lobe have a role in producing neglect (Karnath et al. 2001).”
