Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a common disorder after stroke. An application especially developed for stroke rehabilitation, the RehAtt Mixed Reality (MR) intends to train cognitive and motor functions that are affected by USN, by the means of interactive 3D games played in mixed reality, through smart glasses. The present study targets one specific cognitive function, namely spatial attention, and compares individual performances in one of the games (scenarios) to performances in a widely used test for detection of deficits in spatial attention – the Posner test. The hypothesis is that user reaction times in the RehAtt MR scenario correlates with user reaction times in the Posner test. Another test, including a questionnaire, to validate the usability of the RehAtt MR is also conducted. The sample for the usability test and questionnaire includes a total of 74 participants (47 women, 27 men, M = 39.6 years of age), of which 29 individuals (13 women, 16 men, M = 35 years of age) carried out the experimental part of the study. The results suggest that there is a significant correlation, r(27) = .411, p = .027, between reaction times in the Posner test and the scenario in the RehAtt MR, and that the product usability shows high quality. It is concluded that the results support that the scenario explored in the RehAtt MR trains spatial attention, although further research is needed for full validation.
Unilateraltspatialt neglekt (USN) är en vanlig funktionsnedsättning efter stroke. En applikation som utvecklats speciellt för strokerehabilitering - RehAtt Mixed Reality (MR) - har som mål att träna kognitiva och motoriska funktioner som är påverkade av USN, med hjälp av 3D-spel som spelas i mixed reality, genom smarta glasögon. Den aktuella studien siktar in sig på en specifik kognitiv funktion – spatial uppmärksamhet – och jämför individuella prestationer i ett av spelen i RehAtt MR med prestationer i ett vanligt, ofta använt test för att upptäcka nedsättningar i spatial uppmärksamhet – Posner-testet. Hypotesen är att användares reaktionstider i spelet i RehAtt MR korrelerar med användares reaktionstider i Posner-testet. Ett annat test, inklusive en enkät, görs också, för att validera användbarheten i RehAtt MR. 74 deltagare (47 kvinnor, 27 män, M = 39.6 år) finns med i användbarhetstestet och enkäten, av vilka 29 individer (13 kvinnor, 16 män, M = 35 år) medverkade i den experimentella delen av studien. Resultaten indikerar att det är en signifikant korrelation, r(27) = .411, p = .027, mellan reaktionstiderna i Posner-testet och spelet i RehAtt MR, och att användbarheten hos produktenvisar hög kvalitet. Slutsatsen är att vad som hittats i den aktuella studien stödjer idéen att spelet i RehAtt MR tränar spatial uppmärksamhet, även om vidare studier krävs för en full validering.

Annotation:

The aim of this review is to provide a unified perspective of unilateral spatial neglect (USN). USN is a neurological disorder frequently observed following damage or diseases to the brain. It is particularly associated with strokes to specific anatomical structures within the right hemisphere. Patients with USN fail to respond to or orient towards stimuli located in the hemispace contralateral to the lesion. They also show peculiar behavioral manifestations. There are several distinct subtypes of USN which can affect sensory or motor modalities, spatial representations, the range of space, or pure imagery. This disorder can appear in any sensory modality but the majority of studies have investigated the visual aspect of USN in these subtypes. Theoretical proposals are supported by empirical evidence deriving from neuroimaging which distinguish between these subtypes of USN. Thus, the heterogeneity of the disorder is evident and clinical assessment methods face great difficulties while prevalence rates vary. The neural pathways of spatial attention distinguish between the ventral and dorsal visual streams, both with distinct functional roles and anatomical bases. Prism adaptation (PA) is a common rehabilitation technique among many others and has shown positive effects on USN while having some limitations. A general discussion and concluding remarks are presented in the final section followed by future research suggestions.

Annotation:

Recent models of visual attention (eg. Rizzolatti et al., 1987) have suggested that a similar system orients visual attention as is used to produce a saccadic eye movement. This thesis provides further support for the link between the attentional and eye orienting systems and has incorporated ideas from recent models of saccade generation. The time taken by normal subjects to initiate a saccade ('latency'), is examined in Chapters two, three and four. Subjects were given attentional instructions and saccades made to either: unilateral single, or, bilateral double, targets. Latency to attended targets was not greatly enhanced, while latency to non-attended targets was greatly slowed. The results support both the premotor model of visual attention and models of visual attention that emphasise the inhibitory consequence of directed attention. Bilateral double targets produced an additional slowing on saccade latency, which could reflect a further automatic attentional inhibition produced in the contralateral field by the stimulus onset. Fixation point offset (in 'gap' situations) is known to reduce saccade latency, which has been attributed to prior attentional disengagement (Fischer, 1987). In Chapter two, the use of a gap situation produced a generalised speeding which was independent of the effects of directed visual attention. This suggests that active fixation affects a separate component to that involved in orienting visual attention to a spatial location. This idea is incorporated into a model which emphasises the inhibitory consequences of attentive fixation. Chapters six and seven report the findings from an experimental investigation of a patient (B.Q.) with a 'unilateral spatial neglect', a condition often attributed to a deficit of visual attention. The 'gap' paradigm was shown to be effective at reducing the severity of B.Q.'s contralateral neglect. In contrast to normal subjects, bilateral double targets did not have an inhibitory effect on her saccade latency. These findings are explained in terms of a model that neglect results in part from the loss of attentional inhibition for the ipsilesional side of space and in part an inability to switch off contralesional inhibition produced during active fixation. A functional model is proposed in Chapter eight to account for the findings. This supports the close link between the attentional orienting and saccade programming systems. An additional implication of the findings is that models of visual attention and saccade generation need to consider the inhibitory consequences of directing attention to a spatial location.

Annotation:

Timely and accurate assessment of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) post stroke is a critical component of best practice, given that a recent Clinical Practice Guidelines for stroke has recommended the standardized assessment of USN within 48 hours of regaining consciousness following a stroke. This multi-centered, retrospective study using data from medical charts of a representative sample of individuals admitted to 10 Ontario acute care hospitals from July 15th to December 15th 2002, examined the prevalence, timing and frequency of use of standardized assessments to evaluate USN post stroke. Out of the 248 subjects who should have received a USN assessment, 37.5% received an assessment; only 13.31% with a standardized visual perception tool and of these, only 0.81% (n = 2) with a standardized tool specific to USN assessment. All clients receiving a standardized assessment were evaluated for USN in the near extrapersonal space, the hemispace within reaching distance of the patient: no patient received a standardized assessment for USN in the personal space or far extrapersonal space. Three standardized visual perception tools that include a USN component were used: the Clock Drawing Test (n = 22), the Ontario Society of Occupational Therapists (OSOT) Perceptual Evaluation (n = 8) and the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test (n = 1). Only 8 (3.23%) of the 248 clients were screened with a standardized tool within the 2-day critical period as recommended by Stroke Guidelines. Reassessment was rare, even in those with detected USN, such that only 1 subject was ever reassessed with a standardized tool.

Annotation:

This thesis concerns the syndrome of visual unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Pisella and Mattingley (2004) argue that two of the core deficits associated with USN, the ipsilesional reaction time (RT) bias (thought to reflect the ipsilesional attention bias) and the ipsilesional detection bias, may have distinct neural substrates and thus may dissociate. In the research reported in this thesis, the 'dissociation hypothesis' was explored in a single patient (JH). JH was impaired at detecting contralesional targets on the visual search task in near space but her far space contralesional target detection was comparable with a healthy control group. However, despite showing 'normal' target detection in far space her far space RTs were significantly slower to detect contralesional targets relative to ipsilesional targets. In fact her RT data was comparable with the far space RT data of 6 patients with USN and was significantly different that that of 10 healthy control participants. This data suggests that the ipsilesional RT and the ipsilesional detection bias can dissociate and may be underpinned by distinct neural processes. The patient was then given PA training. Overall, the analysis showed that the ipsilesional detection bias was ameliorated after PA but the ipsilesional RT gradient remained unchanged. A group study was carried out to explore whether PA ameliorated both the ipsilesional detection bias and the ipsilesional RT bias, (due to the limitations of the case study approach). As research has already shown that PA improves contralesional target detection (Rossetti et al., 1998; Frassinetti et al., 2002) the experiments asked whether increased target detection after PA is accompanied by a normalisation of the ipsilesional RT bias on a visual search task, as would be predicted if PA ameliorated USN by facilitating a redistribution of spatial attention (Rode, 2003; and Pisella, 1999). The findings showed that increased contralesional target detection was not accompanied by a normalisation of the ipsilesional RT gradient. This suggests that a) the ipsilesional detection and the ipsilesional RT bias are not intrinsically related and b) that PA does not facilitate a redistribution of spatial attention. It was argued that PA improves target detection by ameliorating the remapping deficit associated with PA (Pisella and Mattingley, 2004) without ameliorating the ipsilesional attentional bias. It was argued in the rationale section of this thesis that the conventional PA procedure described by Rossetti (1998) is a far space based procedure as patients adapt to the prismatic shift by pointing to objects in far space (beyond arm's reach). However, die patients in Rossetti's (1998) study, and subsequent studies by others, were asked to perform tasks that evaluated the effects of PA only in near space. The findings of Rossetti (1998) and others showed that 'far PA training' ameliorated left USN performance in near space, thereby suggesting that a common underlying mechanism involved in both near and far space processing is ameliorated by PA. A candidate for this mechanism may be the oculomotor system since research has shown that it may be involved in die detection of objects in both far and near space (Previc, 1995). Further, the oculomotor system has been implicated as being involved in the amelioration of USN after PA training (Serino et al., 2007). If it is the case that a mechanism common to processing of both near and far space is ameliorated by PA training, then near space training should also ameliorate USN of far space. On the other hand, there are indications in the literature that the oculomotor system is involved in processing of near and far space to different degrees, being more directly involved in processing of far than near space (Berti and Rizzolatti, 2002) There is also evidence that near and far space are processed by different neural circuits (Rizzolatti et al., 1987, 1985 and 2002). It is conceivable, therefore, that a PA training method based on processing of near space information would have a greater effect on neglect for near space than for far space. A 'near space' training procedure was therefore devised to explore this issue. Specifically, the experiments reported in Chapter 7 asked whether a 'near PA' procedure, which attempted to activate near/reaching circuits (in addition to the oculomotor system), would ameliorate USN in near and far space but to a greater degree in near space. The findings showed that 'near PA' significantly increased contralesional target detection in both near and far space with no enhanced benefit in near space. It was evident when carrying out die group study described above that not all patients benefited from PA training. The group data was re-analysed at a single case level and the findings showed that of the 9 patients who were given PA training only 6 showed a subsequent reduction in symptoms of USN. All of the patients who responded to PA showed error reduction and after effect. Of the patients who did not respond to PA, none showed error reduction and two showed an after effect It was concluded that error reduction and not after effect is the critical predictor of amelioration of USN symptoms after PA. A final longitudinal study explored how long the effects of PA lasted in three patients with USN who responded to PA training. The findings showed that the beneficial effects of PA were maintained for at least two years in one patient but two patients who initially benefited initially from PA lost their training gains over time.

Annotation:

Spatial neglect is most prominently associated with damage to the right cerebral hemisphere, especially parietal and frontal regions. Although many studies of the neglect syndrome have tended to focus on spatial pathological mechanisms, an increasing body ofdata points to right hemisphere involvement in spatial and nonspatial domains, including spatial working memory (SWM) and sustained attention. The experiments described here critically examine the roles ofSWM, sustained attention and their interaction in the neglect syndrome. By employing a vertical variant of the traditional Corsi blocks it was possible to demonstrate impaired SWM in neglect. A deficit was also found using a second 'purer' task, which required no manual response or memory for sequence order. Impairment on this task correlated with neglect severity, providing evidence for a contributory role for impaired SWM in neglect. Sustained attention was examined by assessing the ability to maintain attention to centrally-displayed visual stimuli. Patients with neglect were impaired, although there was no worsening ofperformance over time, or vigilance decrement. A subsequent study revealed that neglect patients have worsening performance over time only when maintaining attention towards spatial targets... suggesting a previously undescribed interaction between spatial impairment and sustained attention in neglect. Damage to white matter underlying parietal cortex was associated with both impaired SWM and sustained attention, consistent with evidence suggesting involvement for right fronto-parietal networks in both these domains. As impaired SWM and sustained attention appear to contribute to neglect, modulation of one or both of these might lead to improvement. A proof-of-principle trial using guanfacine, anoradrenergic agent previously shown to affect SWM and vigilance, demonstrated that, in selected patients, noradrenergic stimulation leads to improved search. Together, these studies detail the roles of impaired SWM and sustained attention in neglect, in addition to exploring a possible role' for targeted pharmacological treatment.

Pseudoneglect (PN) reveals a contralateral bias in the deployment of visuospatial attention by the dominant (right) hemisphere. The magnitude of PN is phasically modulated by transient exogenous visual cues which automatically recruit attention to cued locations. Optimal cue-line onset asynchrony (SOA), cue-contrast of this cueing effect and the relative effectiveness of cue locations relative to line endpoints are unknown. Similarly, the direction of line scanning modulates the tonic bias, although the origin of this modulation is unknown. The present experiments aim at informing theories about visuospatial attention as well as some neurological conditions such as hemispatial neglect. Four experiments were conducted where observers performed a tachistoscopic visual line bisection task. In experiments 1-3, pretransected lines were preceded by peripheral cues delivered to the left and right line ends at a variety of (1) stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs), (2) contrasts and (3) horizontal positions relative to the line endpoints. Experiment 4 used a tachistoscopic line bisection protocol to manipulate the type (saccadic, smooth pursuit) and direction (leftward, rightward) of attentional scanning, executed with or without eye movements (overt, covert) while performing eye-tracking. Experiment 1 demonstrated early attentional capture with optimal cue-line SOA of 60 ms. Experiment 2 demonstrated that cue contrasts below 12% were ineffective in modulating perceived midpoint and the maximal effect occurred for cues of 100% contrast. Experiment 3 demonstrated modulation of the spatial error resulting from cues at all locations except the one lying completely beyond the line endpoints. Experiment 4 showed that leftward scanning resulted in leftward error and rightward scanning resulted in rightward error. Smooth pursuit scanning was more potent than saccadic scanning. Overt scanning was more potent than covert scanning and overall the strongest effects were found in leftward overt smooth pursuit scanning. Results from the cueing experiments suggest that the mechanisms subserving exogenous attentional capture in line bisection are fast, predominantly parvocellular-mediated and exert their effects at least partially in an object-referenced coordinate system. Experiment 4 suggests attentional magnification of the left line halve where visuospatial attention is deployed asymmetrically ahead of a scanned target.

La négligence spatiale, caractérisée par un déploiement déficitaire et asymétrique de l’attention spatiale, est un syndrome neurologique très handicapant. Un nouveau concept suggère qu’il s’agit d’une pathologie de réseau plutôt qu’une pathologie de localisation corticale unique. L’objectif principal de ce travail de thèse était de tester cette hypothèse et de mieux comprendre la contribution de chaque hémisphère cérébral dans la survenue de ce syndrome. La négligence demeure peu étudiée dans des conditions neurologiques autres que les accidents vasculaires cérébraux. Néanmoins, dans l'atrophie corticale postérieure (ACP), une affection neuro-dégénérative rare, il y a un déclin progressif des fonctions visuelles complexes, associées à une atteinte bipariétale asymétrique, ce qui pourrait prédire l’occurrence des signes de négligence. Ce travail de thèse s’est focalisé sur l’étude de la négligence spatiale chez des patients ACP. Les tests « papier-crayon » ont mis en évidence des signes de négligence spatiale avec une fréquence relativement élevée chez les patients ACP. La scintigraphie de perfusion cérébrale nous a permis de corréler les biais spatiaux vers la droite ou vers la gauche avec des déséquilibres fonctionnels inter-hémisphériques. Finalement, en utilisant l'IRM et la scintigraphie, nous avons montré une association entre le biais vers la droite et, à la fois, une atrophie corticale et une hypo-perfusion non pas localisées aux régions postérieures du cerveau, mais étendues dans un réseau fronto-pariétal. Ceci renforce l'hypothèse que des signes de négligence spatiale pourraient résulter de dysfonctionnements de larges réseaux corticaux

Hemispatial neglect, is a major cause of post-stroke disability and poor functional recovery. Hence, identifying sensitive methods to assess and rehabilitate neglect is important. Chapters 3 and 4 focused on development of novel assessment techniques for representational neglect. The 'Shopping Mall' and 'Clock Cueing' tasks improved upon previous tests and were useful in identifying dissociations in representational neglect based on type of stimuli (topological, non-topological) and time of assessment (pre-stroke, post-stroke) in chronic stroke patients. Chapters 5 and 6 investigated the efficacy of offline inhibitory repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in producing short (<1 month) and long term (>6 months) changes in visual neglect behaviour. Overall, the findings from these chapters were limited due to lack of sufficient power. After controlling for the effect of baseline performance, the Intervention group's Activities of Daily Living scores significantly improved in the short-term post rTMS, as compared to the Control group. The fMRI task attempted to recruit attention-based top down modulation of sensory activity. It revealed relative hypoactivation of the right occipital lobe in the four left neglect patients tested, both pre and post rTMS, when compared to elderly controls. Chapter 7 explored cognitive predictors of spatial and object neglect in the sub-acute stage after controlling for demographic and stroke related factors, using multivariate blocked logistic regressions. Cognitive performance indicative of spatial attention and selective attention to local features predicted both spatial and object neglect. In addition, coding of spatial relations between features also predicted spatial neglect. Suggestions for combining neglect rehabilitation techniques to target these cognitive processes are discussed. Overall, this thesis provides novel methods to improve representational neglect assessment and highlights the importance of ancillary cognitive domains in contributing to both representational and visual neglect. The rTMS research provides study design-related insights to incorporate in future studies with larger patient samples.

Annotation:

Spatial neglect is a multi-component neurological syndrome, with the deficits including losses in awareness, attention and exploration towards the contralesional side of space, most commonly after right-hemisphere stroke. Neglect does not invariably affect just a fixed portion of space, but instead can be modulated by stimulation and task demands, including attentional factors. This thesis examines how aspects of neglect may be modulated by top-down task manipulations or bottom-up stimulus factors or by interventions, such as prism adaptation, that may have potential therapeutic benefit. The experiments show that varying top-down task-demands can substantially modulate neglect as revealed on cancellation measures similar to those commonly used in diagnosis. Specifically I show here that awareness for items towards the left space in cancellation tasks can be significantly modulated by just changing the task goal, and thus by directing the patients top-down attention to different aspects of the same stimulus displays. Prism interventions are found to improve awareness in neglect patients for certain tasks and stimulus types, but not others. Moreover, prism after-effects in neglect patients are found to be much larger when measured by subjective straight-ahead rather than open-loop pointing indices, which may be of importance for future studies of therapeutic impact from prism adapatation. Exploratory anatomical analyses indicate that this impact may also depend on the brain areas lesioned. Finally, using the phenomenon of extinction (a related sign to neglect) as a paradigm case of cross-modal modulation of awareness, the neural correlates of awareness or of unconscious processing were investigated by means of fMRI, in a patient with cross-modal extinction of left touch by right vision that affected perceptual sensitivity itself. This revealed that extinction and awareness do not correlate solely with activation within particular brain regions, but also relate to functional coupling between brain regions. These studies demonstrate various aspects of awareness that can be compromised following brain injury in neglect patients, and some of the factors that can modulate their awareness.

L’objectif de cette thèse était d’étudier la contribution de l’attraction magnétique (AM) et du déficit de mémoire de travail (DMT) à l’origine du syndrome de négligence, et d’identifier leurs corrélats lésionnels. 51 patients avec lésion de l’hémisphère droit (dont 34 avec signes de négligence gauche) devaient toucher des cercles sur un écran tactile dans 3 conditions, où les cercles (1) restaient inchangés, (2) devenaient plus saillants, (3) disparaissaient. Les patients ont également été soumis à une IRM structurelle et de diffusion. Pour chaque sujet et chaque condition expérimentale, la projection moyenne de toutes les touches sur l’axe des X de l’écran a été calculée afin d’estimer la position du champ attentionnel (CA). Nous avons établi des critères diagnostiques pour l’AM (p. Ex. , déviation à gauche du CA dans la condition ‘disparaître’ par rapport à la condition ‘plus saillant’) et le DMT (p. Ex, CA dans la condition ‘inchangée’ plus à droite que dans les conditions ‘disparaître’ et ‘plus saillant’). Douze des patients négligents , et est supérieur à ceux des contrôles et des sujets sains. 12 patients présentaient AM, une patient un DMT et deux patients montraient les deux déficits. Une disconnection du faisceau longitudinal supérieur (IFOF) et du segment antérieur du faisceau arqué (ArF) était present dans un cluster de 7 patients (avec AM), tandis que dans un patient avec DMT. Ces résultats confirment que l’attraction magnétique est un déterminant majeur de la négligence visuo-spatiale et que DMT pourrait également contribuer.

Annotation:

A significant gap exists between evidence-based practice (EBP) and actual occupational therapy (OT) practice in the management of a disabling post-stroke impairment - unilateral spatial neglect (USN). With improved patient outcomes linked to the use of best practices, it is crucial to modify OTs' actual practices in stroke care. To date, no research study has used knowledge translation (KT) to increase knowledge of EBP specific to OTs managing post-stroke USN. The first manuscript of this thesis explores how the "Knowledge to Action Process" model developed by Graham and colleagues, can be used as a step by step guide in creating an effective KT intervention for OTs working in acute stroke care. It describes how previous research has already addressed the "Knowledge Creation" domain of the model through the creation of synthesized materials and knowledge tools. It then goes on to describe how the first two steps of the "Action Cycle" domain have also been addressed; the main problem between EBP and actual practice has been identified and the evidence on best practice USN management has been adapted for acute care. The subsequent two steps that have not yet been addressed include assessing barriers to knowledge use and implementing an intervention. The Knowledge to Action Process model stresses that in order for a KT intervention to be effective in changing clinician practices, the facilitators and barriers faced by clinicians treating a specific clientele, in a specific type of setting, need to be identified.A few studies have assessed the barriers and facilitators to using EBP in rehabilitation; however none are specific to occupational therapists treating post-stroke USN. Thus, the objectives of the second manuscript were twofold: Phase 1) to identify the barriers and facilitators that affect EBP use by acute care OTs treating individuals with post-stroke USN; and Phase 2) to create, to pilot test, to evaluate the feasibility and to conduct preliminary analyses of effectiveness of a multi-modal KT intervention geared towards increasing EBP knowledge acquisition and self-efficacy for USN assessment and treatment. A sub-objective was to conduct preliminary analyses of the association between potential explanatory variables and change in knowledge acquisition and EBP self-efficacy.In the first phase, two focus groups (n=9) were held where acute care OTs treating patients with stroke discussed the barriers and facilitators to EBP use faced in practice. Key barriers included lack of time and basic EBP skills, and lack of personal motivation to change current practices and habits. Key identified facilitators included a multidisciplinary stroke team, recent graduation, and having access to learning material and several educational days annually. In the second phase, a multi-modal USN KT intervention was pilot tested on 20 OTs from Quebec and Ontario. Clinicians took part in an 8 week intervention beginning with a 7 hour in-person USN KT training session. This was followed by an 8 week reinforcement period where they continued their learning online. A pre, pre, post assessment of the main outcome - knowledge of best practices in USN management, was measured online via the Knowledge Questionnaire. The secondary outcome EBP self-efficacy, was assessed using the EBP Self-Efficacy Scale immediately prior to and following the in-person training session. All OTs improved in knowledge of EBP USN management and as a group, a statistically significant improvement was achieved. Similarly, significant improvement was found in clinicians' level of EBP self-efficacy. These results demonstrate that a multi-modal KT intervention based on the Knowledge to Action Process model and identified barriers and facilitators is feasible and effective based on preliminary analysis. However, further investigation of this KT intervention through a randomized control trial is necessary to validate the results on effectiveness obtained in this study.
Il existe un grand écart entre les données probantes et la pratique actuelle des ergothérapeutes traitant les patients qui ont subi un accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) et qui sont atteints de la négligence spatiale unilatérale (NSU). Il est très important de modifier les pratiques actuelles de ces cliniciens vu l'amélioration remarquable des symptômes de NSU reliés à l'utilisation des données probantes. À date, il n'existe aucune étude de recherche utilisant l'application des connaissances (ADC) comme moyen d'augmenter les connaissances des données probantes spécifiquement pour ergothérapeutes traitant la NSU. Le premier manuscrit de cette thèse décrit comment un modèle d'ADC le « Knowledge to Action Process » conçu par Graham et collègues, peut guider le développement d'une ADC efficace ces ergothérapeutes. Il décrit la façon dont les études de recherches précédentes ont déjà adressés le domaine de la création des connaissances. Le manuscrit poursuit en décrivant comment les deux premières étapes du domaine du cycle d'actions ont aussi été adressées. Les deux étapes suivantes qui évaluent les obstacles à l'usage des données probantes et qui mettent en œuvre une intervention d'ADC n'ont pas été adressé à date. Le modèle souligne que l'intervention d'ADC ne pourra être efficace que si les obstacles et facilitateurs vécus par les cliniciens travaillant dans ce domaine sont identifiées. Il existe aucune étude à date qui identifie les obstacles et facilitateurs à l'utilisation des données probantes pour ergothérapeutes travaillant avec les patients avec AVC et la NSU. Les objectifs du deuxième manuscrit sont : Phase 1) d'identifier les obstacles et facilitateurs qui contribuent au manque d'utilisation des données probantes par les ergothérapeutes travaillant en soins aigues avec les patients atteints de la NSU suite à un AVC, et Phase 2) de créer, d'évaluer la plausibilité et d'exécuter des analyses préliminaires d'efficacité d'une intervention d'ADC ayant comme but d'augmenter les connaissances des données probantes et aussi d'auto-efficacité dans l'évaluation et le traitement de l'NSU parmi le même groupe de cliniciens.Dans la première phase, deux groupes de discussions (n=9) avec ergothérapeutes des soins aigues travaillant avec les individus atteints de NSU suite à un AVC ont eu lieu. Les obstacles les plus importants étaient le manque: de temps, d'habileté dans le domaine des données probantes, et de motivation personnelle à changer leur pratique actuelle. Les facilitateurs dominants étaient ayant: une équipe de AVC composée de différentes disciplines, terminée les études récemment et accès aux matériaux d'apprentissages et journées de formation annuellement. Dans la deuxième phase, une intervention d'ADC a été mise à l'essai sur 20 ergothérapeutes provenant des provinces de Québec et de l'Ontario. L'intervention a commencé avec une formation de sept heures suivie par huit semaines de renforcement où les cliniciens ont continué leur apprentissage sur l'internet. Deux évaluations préliminaires et une ultérieure des résultats principaux – les connaissances des données probantes pour la gestion de l'NSU ont été mesurées à travers le « Knowledge Questionnaire » répondu sur l'internet. Le deuxième résultat - d'auto-efficacité pour utiliser les données probantes a été évalué en utilisant le « EBP Self-Efficacy Scale». Les résultats ont démontré que tous les ergothérapeutes ont amélioré leurs connaissances de la gestion de la NSU et en tant que groupe, une amélioration significative a été atteinte. De même, une amélioration significative a été remarquée au niveau d'auto-efficacité pour l'utilisation des données probantes. Ces résultats démontrent qu'une intervention d'ADC basée sur le « Knowledge to Action Process » est réalisable et basée sur l'analyse préliminaire est aussi efficace. Cependant, un essai de contrôle randomisé est requis pour valider les résultats obtenus ici sur l'efficacité de l'intervention d'ADC.

Annotation:

L’adaptation des fonctions motrices permet l’optimisation des interactions avec l’environnement et ses modifications. Une des grandes questions posées à ce sujet concerne la spécificité des modifications implémentées. Dans la littérature traditionnelle sur l’adaptation visuo-manuelle au port de prismes, on retrouve une généralisation de l’adaptation à des positions spatiales non-apprises, mais un très faible transfert de l’adaptation aux autres effecteurs moteurs. Par contraste, les résultats thérapeutiques acquis chez le patient négligent depuis 12 ans suggèrent que l’adaptation visuo-manuelle peut produire des effets à tous les niveaux affectés par cette pathologie. Cette opposition apparente pose la question de la validité du modèle pathologique pour explorer l’adaptation sensori-motrice, et une façon d’y répondre est d’explorer les effets de l’adaptation sur les fonctions perturbées par la négligence chez le sujet normal. Ces trois volets de la littérature apportent des éclairages complémentaires sur la question de la généralisation des adaptations. Par la mise en évidence d’une généralisation des effets consécutifs de l’adaptation prismatique, notamment à un niveau transmodal, non impliqué dans la procédure d’adaptation per se, ce travail de thèse apporte des éléments pertinents en terme de niveau d’action et d’organisation des réseaux impliqués, laissant suggérer un effet de restructuration sur des représentations spatiales de haut niveau, permettant d’élargir l’orientation des stratégies de réhabilitation, par la mise en évidence d’une activation dynamique de fonctions et de réseaux liés à l’intégration multi-sensorielle, nécessaire aux représentations spatiales
Adaptation of motor functions allows optimization of interactions with environment and its alterations. One major question concerns specificity of implemented modifications. Classical data about visuo-manual adaptation to prisms reveal generalization of adaptation to non learned spatial locations, but a very poor transfer to others motor effectors. By contrast, therapeutic results obtained in neglect patients since 12 years suggest that visuo-manual adaptation could produce effects at various levels affected by neglect. This apparent opposition raises the question of validity of pathologic model to explore sensori-motor adaptation, and one way to answer is to explore effects of prism adaptation on disturbed functions by neglect in normal subject. These three sections of review bring out complementary lightings about question of adaptations generalization. By underlying generalization of after-effects of prism adaptation, in particular at a transmodal level, non implicated in adaptative procedure per se, these results bring some relevant arguments in terms of level of action and implicated networks organization, suggesting a restructuring effect on high level spatial representations, allowing to enlarge orientation of rehabilitative strategies. These results bring out a dynamic activation of functions and networks linked to multisensory integration, appropriate to spatial representations

Background: Approximately a third of all stroke patients develop spatial neglect, a debilitating symptom associated with poor outcome. Spatial neglect is clinically defined as a deficit in processing and responding to stimuli presented on the contralesional side of the body, or the space surrounding that side of the body. The heterogenetic, multi-sensory nature of the symptoms renders it difficult to diagnose and treat; therefor effective methods for screening and intervention for neglect are needed. Virtual reality (VR) is a method of brain–computer interaction that involves realtime simulation of an environment, scenario or activity that allows for user interaction and targets multiple senses. We hypothesize that VR can facilitate identification of spatial neglect in stroke patients and that training with this interface will improve patient’s functional outcome, through stimulation to neuronal networks including those controlling attention. Objective: The objective was to construct and validate a computerized test battery for spatial neglect and to investigate its usability in stroke patients. Also to design and develop a VR rehabilitation method for spatial neglect and to evaluate its effects on spatial attention and on neuronal activity in the brain. Method: We designed, developed and evaluated a new concept for assessment (VR-DiSTRO®) and training (RehAtt®) of spatial attention, using VR technology. The hardware consisted of a PC, monitor, 3D-glasses and a force feedback device to control the tasks (i.e., a robotic pen). The software enabled targets to be moved, rotated and manipulated in the 3D environment using the robotic pen. RehAtt® made it possible to combine intense visual scanning training, multi-sensory stimulation (i.e., audio, visual, tactile) and sensory-motor activation of the contralesional arm. In a first study on 31 stroke patients we performed a construct validation of VR-DiSTRO® against Rivermead Behavioural Test Battery (BIT) and investigated the usability. In a second study, 15 subjects with chronic spatial neglect (symptoms >6 month) had self-training, 3 x 1 hour for 5 weeks using RehAtt®. Outcome were measured by changes in neglect tests and in Cathrine Bergego Scale (CBS). Training-related changes in neuronal activity of the brain was studied using fMRI during task and in resting state. Results: VR-DiSTRO® correctly identified all patients with neglect. The sensitivity was 100% and the specificity 82% for VR-DiSTRO® compared to BIT. Usability was high and no side-effects were noted. Using repeated measurement analysis, improvements due to the RehAtt® intervention were found for Baking tray task (p < 0.001), Star cancellation test (p = 0.006) and Extinction test (p = 0.05). Improvements were also seen in the Posner task as fewer missed targets (p = 0.024). Improvement in activities of daily living (CBS) was shown immediately after training (p < 0.01) and patients still reported improvement at 6 months follow-up. Trainingrelated changes in neuronal activity were seen as an increased task-evoked brain activity in prefrontal and temporal cortex, mainly outside the attention network but in related cortical areas. During resting state, changes in network connectivity were seen after intervention with RehAtt® in the Dorsal Attention Network (DAN) and interhemispheric connectivity. Conclusion: VR-DiSTRO® identified visuospatial neglect in stroke patients quickly and with a high accuracy. RehAtt® training improved in spatial attention in chronic neglect with transfer to functions in daily living. Increased neuronal brain activity was found in and between attention networks and related brain structures. This could represent a compensatory effect in addition to sign of a restorative effect from the RehAtt training. The results obtained in this study are promising, encourage further development of the methods and merit for further studies.

Annotation:

La perception de la verticale repose sur l’intégration des informations vestibulaires, visuelles et somesthésiques. Elle est généralement étudiée dans la modalité visuelle (VVS) ou haptique (VHS) et plus rarement dans la modalité visuo-haptique (VVHS). Cette modalité pose la question de l’intégration des informations mises en jeu par ces deux modalités dans la perception multimodale et du modèle cognitif sous-jacent. Se pose également la question de l'effet des lésions cérébrales perturbant la perception spatiale (hémi-négligence) dans la perception de la verticale.Une comparaison des VVS, VHS et VVHS est réalisée dans les quatre premières études de cette thèse, chez des participants sains jeunes et plus âgés et chez des patients cérébro-lésés droits avecou sans troubles visuo-spatiaux. Les performances observées sont proches de la verticale gravitaire chez les participants sains pour les VVS et VVHS. La VHS (avec la main droite) est déviée, dans le sens horaire chez les jeunes participants et anti-horaire pour les participants plus âgés. La présence d’un cadre visuel perturbe les VVS et VVHS chez les participants dépendants à l'égard du champ.Les patients cérébro-lésés droits présentent une déviation anti-horaire des trois verticales, plus marquée pour la VHS. Les VVHS mesurées sont correctement prédites, dans toutes les conditions,par la somme des VVS et VHS pondérées par leurs précisions relatives. La variance de la VVHS est moindre que les variances des VVS et VHS. La VHS, systématiquement déviée dans ces quatre premières études, fait l’objet d’une évaluation détaillée dans les deux dernières études de cette thèse. Les résultats montrent que la VHS est déviée dans le sens horaire avec la main droite, dans le sens anti-horaire avec la main gauche chez les participants sains jeunes ; les déviations s’inversent avec l’âge. Par ailleurs, les performances sont systématiquement déviées dans le sens des positions initiales. Considérés ensemble, ces résultats montrent que la perception de la verticale implique les informations mises en jeu par les modalités visuelle et haptique mais avec une prépondérance de la première. Ce travail de thèse montre ainsi que la perception de la verticale subjective repose sur une intégration multimodale pondérée des informations sensorielles en accord avec le modèle statistique bayésien du maximum de vraisemblance. Ce mode d'intégration multi-sensorielle n'est pas altéré par l’âge ou la présence de lésions cérébrales affectant la perception visuo-spatiale. Plusieurs pistes restent à explorer, notamment, le poids de la contribution des informations vestibulaires dans la verticale subjective
The perception of the vertical direction is achieved through vestibular, visual and somatosensory information integration. It is studied in the visual (SVV), haptic (SHV) and less often in the visuo-haptic modality (SVHV). The latter raises the question of the integration of visual the information involved in the visual and haptic modalities and of the cognitive model underlying this integration. SVV, SHV and SVHV were compared in the first four studies of this thesis, inhealthy young and older subjects and in right-brain damaged patients with or without visuo-spatial disorders. Performances were closed to the gravity in healthy participants, for SVV as well as forSVHV. VHS, assessed with the right hand, was tilted clockwise in young participants and anticlockwise in older participants. The presence of a visual frame disrupted SVV and SVHV. The right-brain damaged patients had an anti-clockwise deviation of SVV and SVHV and the SHV was even more tilted. SVHV was well predicted from the sum of the SVV and SHV weighted by their relative variances in all conditions and the SVHV variances were lesser. SHV was evaluated in detail in the two last studies of this thesis because of the systematic tilt in the first four studies. The results show that the SHV is tilted clockwise with the right hand and anti-clockwise with the left hand in young healthy subjects. Moreover, deviations reversed in older group and performances are systematically tilted toward the initial positions in the two groups. Taken together, these results show that the way participants integrate visual and haptic information fits the maximum like lihoodmodel with a greater weighting of information available in visual modality and that ageing and right-brain lesions does not alter the multisensory integration. The weight of vestibular information in the subjective vertical, which has not been evaluated per se in this thesis, needs further investigations

Annotation:

The underlying mechanisms of the unilateral spatial neglect (USN), a highly prevalent and disabling consequence of stroke that responds poorly to existing interventions, remain unclear. Animal research suggests that post-stroke USN may be related in part to a disruption of visual attention mediated through the midbrain superior colliculi (SC). However, little attention has been placed on studying this mechanism in humans with post-stroke USN.
The first manuscript of this thesis presents a literature review on the implications of the SC in USN and reviews the rationale and potential for USN treatments aimed at involving the SC. Overall, 21 animal research studies and 24 human research studies were retrieved. Animal studies suggest a direct involvement of the SC in USN presentation and alleviation through a number of interconnections. It proposes that when the ipsilateral SC is deactivated, the animal presents with USN of the contralesional hemispace where the ipsilateral SC is found to be hypoactive, and the contralateral SC is hyperactive. This activity imbalance is restored after the contralateral SC is also deactivated, leading to USN alleviation. Nonetheless, given the paucity of human studies that were found, the contribution of the SC in USN, while plausible, remains to be confirmed. While intervention studies were retrieved where eye patching, with SC activity rationale, was used as a treatment for USN, several methodological issues were identified for future research in his area. Overall, it is suggested that further exploration of the mechanisms involved and their impact on USN in humans will help develop theoretically based intervention strategies tailored to USN type.
The implication of the collicular pathway has been studied using the spatial summation effect (SSE), where response to bilateral presentations is significantly faster that to unilateral presentations. It has never been directly analyzed in those with post-stroke USN. The objectives of the second manuscript, in which the thesis related study was conducted were twofold: 1. to determine the feasibility of investigating SC contribution using the SSE and, 2. to compare the SC contribution in three groups - individuals with left USN of the near extrapersonal space following right hemisphere stroke, those without USN following a right hemisphere stroke and healthy normal controls. This pilot study included individuals with (n=7) and without (n=10) right hemisphere post-stroke USN and individuals with no history of previous stroke and USN (n=10). All participants were tested on a computer reaction time test under two conditions: using both eyes and using a right monocular eye patch while responding to unilateral and bilateral achromatic stimuli presentations. An eye tracker device was used to control for fixation ability. It was found that the SSE was present in controls under binocular and monocular conditions. In individuals without post-stroke USN, SSE was found abnormal (under binocular and monocular conditions) where reaction times to bilateral stimuli were faster than to the unilateral left stimuli only and not to the unilateral right stimuli presentations. As for the participants with USN, we found that they had poor fixation ability by demonstrating either failure to fixate or several missed fixations (i.e. loosing fixation). Overall, the feasibility of using SSE to investigate the contribution of the SC in post-stroke USN is challenging with this population given poor fixation. Interestingly, the SC are connected to the frontal eye field in directing spatial attention and controlling voluntary and reflexive saccade eye movements that are involved in fixation. T
Les mécanismes neuronaux sous-jacents de la négligence spatiale unilatérale (NSU), une conséquence répandue et invalidante d'un accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC) qui répond pauvrement aux traitements, sont encore mal connus. Des travaux récents sur des animaux suggèrent que la NSU peut être liée en partie à une rupture du contrôle de l'attention visuelle médiée par les collicules supérieurs (CS) du mésencéphale. Toutefois, peu d'attention a été mise sur l'étude de ce mécanisme chez l'homme avec la NSU suite à un AVC. fr
Le premier manuscrit présente une revue de littérature sur les implications des CS dans la NSU et examine la justification et le potentiel, et vise à associer les CS à des traitements pour NSU. Au total, 21 études sur les animaux et 24 études sur l'homme étaient récupérées Les études chez l'animal suggèrent une implication directe des CS dans la présentation et l'allégement de la NSU. Principalement, lorsque la CS ipsilatérale est désactivé, l'animal présente la NSU de l'hémiespace contralésionnelle. Le CS ipsilatéral se trouve être hypoactif, et le CS contralatéral est hyperactif. Ce déséquilibre dans les activités des CS est rétabli suite à la désactivation du CS contralatéral mènant à l'allégement de la NSU. Néanmoins, étant donné la rareté des études sur l'homme qui ont été trouvées, la contribution des CS dans la NSU, tandis que plausible, reste à confirmer. Des études basées sur les connaissances des activités des CS chez l'homme ont été trouvées dans lesquelles la patche de l'il a été utilisée comme un traitement pour la NSU. Néanmoins, plusieurs questions doivent être abordées dans les futures études analysant l'effet de la patche de l'il sur la NSU. Dans l'ensemble, il est suggéré que l'exploration additionnelle et directe des mécanismes en jeu et leur impact sur la NSU chez l'homme contriburent au développement des stratégies d'intervention adaptées aux plusieurs types de NSU.
L'implication des parcours rétino-colliculaires a été étudiée en utilisant l'effet de la sommation spatiale (ESS), mais n'a jamais été directement analysé chez cieux avec de la NSU suite à un AVC. Les objectifs du deuxième manuscrit étaient de déterminer la faisabilité d'enquêter sur l'implication des CS en utilisant l'ESS et d'analyser la contribution des CS chez les individus présentant une NSU gauche de l'espace extrapersonnel près suite à un AVC de l'hémisphère droit (n=7), les personnes sans NSU suite à un AVC de l'hémisphère droit (n=10), et chez des individus sains (n=10). Les participants ont été testés sur une tâche de temps de réaction sur l'ordinateur en utilisant les deux yeux et en utilisant une patche monoculaire sur l'il droit tout en répondant à des présentations achromatique unilatérales et bilatérales. Un dispositif oculomètre a été utilisé pour measurer de la capacité de fixation. Par conséquent, l'ESS était présent chez les individus sains sous conditions binoculaire et monoculaire. Chez les personnes sans NSU, l'ESS était anormal (sous conditions binoculaire et monoculaire), dans lesquelles les temps de réaction aux présentations bilatérales étaient plus rapides qu'aux présentations unilatérales gauches, et pas droites. Les participants avec NSU ont démontré une capacité de fixation faible en démontrant soit une incapacité totale de fixer ou plusieurs pertes de fixation. En conclusion, la possibilité d'utiliser l'ESS pour enquêter sur la contribution des CS dans la NSU suite à un AVC est difficile étant donné une pauvre capacité de fixation. En effet les CS sont liés au domaine il frontal à diriger l'attention spatiale et le contrôle des mouvements oculaires volontaires et réflexes. Nous pouvons donc spéculer que l'incapacité à fixer indique une insuffisance des activités des CS chez des individus avec NSU suite à un AVC. D'autres recherches sur ce sujet sont nécessair

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University
High frequency repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) has been used clinically on perilesional cortex to attenuate the neurological consequences of cerebral injuries. Presently the clinical benefits of rTMS remain controversial due to the high level of inter-individual variability in response to treatment. We explored the behavioral efficacy of multisession rTMS and studied the structural and metabolic characteristics underlying the recovery of visuo-spatial functions after unilateral parietal injury. A group of adult cats (n=12) underwent focal lesions in a region of the posterior parietal cortex (pMS, posterior middle suprasylvian area) leading to contralesional visuo-spatial deficits. Two and a half months post-injury, cats were treated with 7 consecutive rounds of 10 daily session of high frequency rTMS applied on an intact perilesional area (aMS, anterior middle suprasylvian area). We characterized two populations of animals: a group of 'Responders' (n=6) displaying significant visual detection improvements in contralesional hemispace and a group of 'Non-responders' (n=6) that did not show significant improvements and suffered unexpected decreases in ipsilesional performance. Detailed lesion analyses revealed no differences between the two groups neither in the amount of total spared cortex nor in the level of residual metabolic bactivity within areas of perilesional tissue. Additionally, we used 14C-2-deoxyglucose (2DG) to measure the metabolic impact of the aMS area on discrete nodes of the visuo-spatial network. When compared individually, none of the 60 regions proved to have significantly higher metabolic uptake in either group. Interestingly however, a cross-correlation analysis of metabolic activity throughout all sampled cortical and subcortical areas revealed that 'Responders' displayed a more metabolically cross-correlated visuo-spatial network than 'Nonresponders'. Furthermore, we found the aMS cortex in the 'Non-responders' group to hold no significant cross-correlations within the visuo-spatial network, indicating that the site of rTMS stimulation held no functional relationship with network regions. We conclude that multisession perilesional rTMS has the potential to induce behavioral ameliorations in chronic brain injury but the ability to consistently induce adaptive outcomes remains highly variable across animals. In addition, functional correlations indicate that rTMS-mediated recovery is dependent on the stimulated aMS cortex and its metabolic coupling with other nodes within visuo-spatial networks.

L'objectif de cette thèse était d'étudier la modalité auditive dans le syndrome de négligence spatiale unilatérale (NSU) que ce soit dans l'évaluation ou dans la prise en charge. Notre première hypothèse défendue était que, bien que la NSU touche aussi la modalité auditive, des différences dues aux spécificités de chaque modalité existent entre les symptômes auditifs et visuels de ce syndrome neuropsychologique. En conséquence, notre seconde hypothèse était que les spécificités propres à la modalité auditive pourraient permettre de pallier les déficits attentionnels rencontrés en modalité visuelle et, donc, faire de cette modalité un support efficace pour la rééducation. Concernant l'évaluation des symptômes auditifs, les mécanismes d'orientation de l'attention en modalité auditive ainsi que la latéralisation de sons ont été explorés chez des patients atteints de NSU. Ces études ont souligné des difficultés dans les deux domaines dans la NSU. Concernant la réhabilitation, la place de l'audition, et plus particulièrement de la musique, dans les rééducations proposées aux patients atteints de NSU a été explorée. Enfin, un programme de rééducation basé sur la pratique musicale a été créé et testé auprès d'une patiente atteinte de NSU chronique. Celui-ci a montré des bénéfices à long-terme sur les signes visuels de la NSU mais également dans la vie quotidienne. Les résultats de ces études vont dans le sens des hypothèses et soulignent l'importance de prendre en compte la modalité auditive dans la pratique clinique que ce soit lors de l'évaluation du syndrome de NSU ou lors de sa réhabilitation
The aim of this thesis was to focus on hearing in the evaluation and the rehabilitation of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) syndrome. USN not only affects the visual, but also the auditory modality. The first hypothesis of this thesis was that, due to the specificities of each modality, differences exist between the auditory and visual symptoms of USN. Consequently, the second hypothesis was that the specificities of the auditory modality could permit to compensate the attentional deficits that occur in the visual modality and, thus, make this modality an efficient tool for the rehabilitation. Concerning the evaluation of the auditory symptoms, orienting attention mechanisms in the auditory modality as well as sound lateralisation were explored with patients with USN. These studies showed patients with USN to have difficulties in both. Concerning the rehabilitation, the place of hearing, and in particular of music, in the re-educations in patients with USN was explored. Finally, a program based on music practice was developed and tested with a patient with a chronic USN. This patient showed long-term benefits on USN visual signs and also on daily activities. The results of these studies are consistent with the hypotheses and underline the importance of considering hearing in clinical practice either for the USN evaluation or for its rehabilitation

At the beginning of this work, recent studies had evidenced a tight link between serial order in verbal working memory and space processing. In a first study, we investigated the nature of this link. By discarding the possibility that it results from conceptual associations, our results favoured the idea that the representation of serial order is intrinsically of a spatial nature. This led us to hypothesize that a deficit of space processing should be accompanied by a deficit of serial order. To test this hypothesis, we investigated verbal working memory abilities in a group of brain-damaged patients with hemispatial neglect, a syndrome characterized by a deficit of spatial attention. We showed that these patients have a specific deficit for serial order, as they showed difficulties when judging the ordinal relations between memorized items, whereas they were able to judge the identity of these items. This deficit of serial order was related to hemispatial neglect severity and to posterior parietal lesions. We formulated the hypothesis that the link between serial order and space results from the overlap of brain networks subtending these cognitive processes, at the level of the posterior parietal cortex. To test this hypothesis, we used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to temporarily disrupt this area in healthy participants, with the prediction that TMS would induce a similar bias when judging the position of a landmark on horizontal lines (spatial task), and when judging the position of an item in memorized sequences (ordinal task). In line with previous studies, TMS induced a bias in the spatial task. However, contrary to our prediction, TMS over the same area in the same participants did not induce a similar bias in the ordinal task.

La négligence spatiale unilatérale (NSU) est une affection neurologique fréquemment observée après une lésion de l'hémisphère cérébral droit. Les patients ne vont plus être en mesure de prendre en compte les stimuli présentés dans l'hémi-espace gauche. La NSU participe à l'aggravation du handicap des patients, par la réduction des possibilités en rééducation motrice et cognitive à la phase aigue d'un accident vasculaire comme sur le long terme. L'identification des facteurs prédictifs de sa chronicité pourrait permettre une meilleure prise en charge clinique de ces patients. Nous avons étudié les altérations des connexions anatomiques observées en IRM de diffusion sous-tendant la persistance de la NSU. Nos résultats démontrent qu'en plus d'un dysfonctionnement fronto-pariétal hémisphérique droit, la persistance de ce syndrome serait associée à une déconnexion interhémisphérique. L'hémisphère gauche isolé ne serait pas en mesure de compenser les déficits des patients. La récupération devrait s'effectuer par une amélioration dans les capacités d'échange des informations entre les deux hémisphères, notamment dans les régions postérieures pariétales et occipitales. Nous nous sommes intéressés à tester cette hypothèse par le biais d'une méthode de rééducation, l'adaptation prismatique (AP). Il s'agit d'une thérapie dont les effets sur la sémiologie des patients sont remarquables. Nos résultats suggèrent que l'amélioration de la NSU pourrait s'observer par le recrutement du réseau fronto-ponto-cérébelleux. Les régions frontales gauches seraient un relais anatomique entre le cervelet droit et le réseau fronto-pariétal gauche
Unilateral spatial neglect is a frequent neurological condition after right hemisphere damage. Patients behave as if objects on their left did not exist anymore. The presence of neglect has negative prognostic value for functional recovery in the acute and chronic phases after a stroke. Finding predictors of persistent neglect would permit to adapt rehabilitation procedures. We used diffusion MRI to define the state of anatomical connections in neglect and their predictor value for neglect persistence. Our results revealed that, together with right intra-hemispheric fronto-parietal disconnections, persistence of neglect is associated with inter-hemispheric disconnection. We concluded that an isolated left hemisphere may fail to compensate neglect because it cannot take into account left-sided objects. Recovery of neglect would instead occur thanks to the sharing of visual information between the two hemispheres, notably in posterior parietal and occipital cortices. We tested this hypothesis by using prism adaptation (PA) therapy. PA is a non-invasive and convenient technique to rehabilitate neglect. We showed that patients with damaged fronto-ponto-cerebellar pathways did not benefit from PA. This finding strongly suggests that PA can ameliorate signs of neglect by improving inter-hemispheric communication through enhanced activity of these connections. Left frontal areas may constitute the anatomical link between the right cerebellum and the left fronto-parietal network. Thus, connectional anatomy can help predict both neglect recovery and the quality of its response to rehabilitation therapies

Rates of substantiated neglect and physical/emotional abuse in 2000-2002 are computed for the census tracts in the urban area of five counties in Metro Atlanta, Georgia, and analyzed using spatial regression to determine their relationships with twelve risk variables computed from the Vital Records births and the 2000 Census data. After accounting for multicollinearity among risk variables and spatial autocorrelation among observations for neighboring locations, it is found that high percentages of (1) births to non-married mothers, (2) births to mothers who smoked or drank alcohol during pregnancy, (3) unemployed males and females, and (4) single-parent families with children under age six best predict the rates of substantiated neglect, and that high percentage of births to mothers who smoked or drank alcohol during pregnancy best predicts the rates of substantiated physical/emotional abuse.

Nous sommes fonctionnellement et structurellement asymétriques. La symétrie parfaite que nous expérimentons subjectivement en observant l'espace qui nous entoure est, dans une certaine mesure, une illusion. La cognition visuospatiale, comme indiqué par les tâches de bissection de lignes, est généralement biaisée à gauche chez les sujets sains et à droite suite à des lésions de l'hémisphère droit causant la Négligence Spatiale Unilatérale (NSU). Ces biais peuvent être modulés et l'adaptation prismatique (AP) a démontré sa capacité à réduire les symptômes de la NSU et à induire des comportements similaires à la NSU chez les individus sains. La question de savoir comment ce type d'adaptation sensorimotrice module la cognition spatiale est encore débattue. L'objectif de cette thèse était d'utiliser des approches comportementales et physiologiques, pour examiner les mécanismes sous-jacents des effets de l'AP sur la cognition visuospatiale d'individus sains. Dans une 1ère étude comportementale, nous avons observé la présence d'une dynamique temporelle des effets survenant après l'AP. Suite à ce premier résultat, nous avons testé sur une période de temps plus longue les effets faisant suite à l'AP déviant la vision vers la droite ou la gauche, et nous avons dévoilé, dans une 2ème étude, des dynamiques temporelles différentes en fonction de la direction de l'AP. Dans une 3ème étude, nous avons utilisé la stimulation magnétique transcrânienne pour étudier la physiologie sous-tendant la modulation visuospatiale efficacement induite par l'AP. Les résultats de cette thèse appellent à un raffinement des modèles actuels de l'action de l'AP sur la cognition visuospatiale
We are functionally and structurally asymmetric. The perfect symmetry we subjectively experience through vision of the space around us is, to some extent, an illusion. Visuospatial cognition, as indexed by performance on line bisection tasks, is generally biased leftward in healthy individuals and pathologically rightward after right brain damage causing unilateral spatial neglect (USN). These biases can be modulated and prism adaptation (PA) is capable of both alleviating USN symptoms and inducing a rightward shift (the so-called “neglect-like behavior”) in healthy individuals. How this type of sensorimotor adaptation modulates spatial cognition is still debated. The goal of this thesis was to use both behavioral and physiological approaches to investigate the underlying mechanisms of PA’s effects on visuospatial cognition in healthy individuals. In a first behavioral study we found the presence of a temporal dynamic in PA after-effects. Based on this first finding we tested, over a longer period of time the PA after-effects following both right and leftward PA and unveiled, with the second study, different temporal dynamics depending on PA direction. In a third study we used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate the physiology underlying the effective visuospatial modulation induced by PA. The results of this thesis call for a refinement of the current models of PA action on visuospatial cognition

Introdução: A negligência espacial unilateral (NEU) é caracterizada pela incapacidade de reportar ou responder pessoas ou objetos do lado contralateral à lesão cerebral, e ocorre principalmente após Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) do lobo parietal direito, sendo associada à pior desfecho funcional à longo prazo. Objetivo: Os objetivos desta tese foram: normatizar os principais testes diagnósticos de NEU e verificar a relação com fatores sócio-demográficos na população brasileira; avaliar as variáveis bioquímicas que interferem na NEU na fase aguda do AVC; e revisar sistematicamente os principais tratamentos farmacológicos na NEU em pacientes após AVC. Método: Para o primeiro objetivo foi realizado estudo transversal em 150 indivíduos sem alterações neurológicas, sendo aplicados: teste face-mão (TFM), testes de cancelamento de linhas (TCL), cancelamento de estrelas (TCE) e bisseção de linhas (TBL). Os resultados dos testes foram relacionados com o perfil sócio demográfico da população, sendo estipulado pontos de cortes para a normalidade; para o objetivo 2 foi realizado estudo observacional em 40 indivíduos com diagnostico de NEU após AVC. Foram aplicados os TCL, TCE e TBL, sendo relacionado com o nível de hemoglobina na fase aguda do AVC corrigido para potenciais confundidores; para o objetivo 3 foi realizado revisão sistemática de literatura por meio de ensaios clínicos randomizados e quasi-randomizados para determinar o melhor tratamento farmacológico. Resultados: os resultados do objetivo 1 estão apresentados nos artigos 1 e 2; o objetivo 2 no artigo 3; e o objetivo 3 no artigo 4. Conclusão: Com base nos resultados obtidos dos artigos 1 e 2, o TFM apresenta taxa de normalidade entre 8 a 10 estímulos sensoriais, com prevalência de extinção associada com o grau de escolaridade e aumento da idade; no TCL o ponto de corte para considerar NEU é acima de 0 e no TCE acima de 2, ambos associados à idade. No TBL o ponto médio de corte para considerar NEU foi de 6,6 mm, associado com pior escolaridade. No artigo 3 foi observado que quanto menor o valor de hemoglobina na fase aguda do AVC, pior o desempenho nos testes de NEU; No artigo 4 foi observado que a efetividade e segurança dos tratamentos farmacológicos para NEU após AVC permanecem incertos, necessitando de ensaios clínicos randomizados adicionais para avaliar o efeito deste tratamento.
Background: Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is characterized by the inability to report or respond to people or objects presented on the side contralateral to the lesioned side of the brain and has been associated with poor functional outcomes. Objective: The objectives of this thesis were: to standardize the USN tests and verify the relationship with socio-demographic data in the Brazilian population; evaluate the biochemical variables that influence in USN tests after acute stroke; and systematically review the pharmacological interventions to treat USN after stroke. Method: For the first aim, we performed a cross-sectional study of 150 individuals without neurological changes by applying: face-hand test (FHT), line cancellation test (LCT), star cancellation test (SCT) and line bisection test (LBT). The test results were related to the sociodemographic data, with cutoff points being stipulated to define USN; the second aim was achieved by conducting an observational study of 40 individuals with USN after acute stroke. The tests applied – LCT, SCT and LBT – were correlated with the hemoglobin level in the acute phase of stroke corrected by confounders; the third aim was analyzed by a systematic review of randomized controlled trials and quasi-randomized clinical trials to determine the efficacy of pharmacological intervention. Results: The first aim is presented in Articles 1 and 2, the second aim in Article 3 and the third in Article 4. Conclusion: Based on the results of Articles 1 and 2, the FHT shows normal rate between 8-10 sensory stimuli, with an extinction prevalence associated with the education level and increasing age; The LCT cutoff point to define is USN above 0 and SCT above 2, and both were associated with age. The LBT cutoff point to indicate NEU was 6.6 mm, associated with poorer education level. Article 3 reveals the relationship between a lower hemoglobin level in acute phase of stroke with worse performance on USN tests; Article 4 reports that the effectiveness and safety of pharmacological treatments for USN after stroke remain uncertain, requiring additional randomized clinical trials to evaluate the effect of treatment.

L'imagerie mentale visuelle est généralement accompagnée de mouvements spontanés des yeux qui ne sont pas arbitraires mais reflètent le contenu spatial de cette imagerie. Ce travail de thèse avait pour principal objectif l'utilisation de l'enregistrement des mouvements oculaires afin d'étudier les représentations mentales chez les sujets sains et les sujets atteints de lésions cérébrales et ainsi d'en explorer les mécanismes, la dynamique, les référentiels et les substrats neuronaux. Nous avons enregistré les mouvements des yeux pendant le rappel des villes de France à partir de la mémoire à long terme, soit en ayant recours à l'imagerie mentale de la carte de France, soit avec un accès sémantique (tâche de fluence verbale). Ce paradigme a été réalisé dans 3 situations différentes : chez les sujets sains avec le regard libre, chez les sujets sains avec le regard fixé et chez les sujets atteints de négligence spatiale unilatérale et/ou hémianopsie latérale homonyme (HLH) avec le regard libre. En utilisant la corrélation bi-dimensionelle (BDR) entre les positions oculaires et les positions GPS des villes évoquées par le sujet, nous avons pu réaliser dans ces trois situations une analyse individuelle. Chez les sujets sains en regard libre, nous avons démontré que l'imagerie mentale se construit de façon séquentielle, et fragmentée, et que la corrélation significative est une signature individuelle de l'utilisation de l'imagerie visuelle. Chez les sujets sains avec le regard fixe, nous avons mis en évidence l'existence de microsaccades qui reflètent toujours le contenu spatial de l'imagerie mentale pour la plupart des individus. Chez les négligents, la représentation mentale de la carte de France était perturbée aussi bien dans le référentiel allocentrique (absence de cohérence spatiale pour les villes de la moitié gauche) que dans le référentiel égocentrique (carte mentale décalée du côté ipsilésionnel). Chez les patients avec HLH, la représentation mentale était décalée du côté contra-lésionnel, mais était spatialement cohérente dans le référentiel allocentrique. Cette nouvelle approche méthodologique et statistique a permis de discuter les différentes interprétations théoriques de la littérature concernant les liens entre mouvements des yeux et imagerie mentale, et d'étudier les troubles de représentation spatiale faisant suite à la lésion du cortex visuel primaire et du réseau pariéto-frontal droit, substrats respectifs du tampon visuel et de la fenêtre attentionnelle / analyse des relations spatiales dans le modèle d'imagerie de Kosslyn
Visual mental imagery is usually accompanied by spontaneous eye movements that are not random but reflect the spatial content of the imagery. The main objective of this thesis was to use eye movements recording in order to explore the mechanisms, the dynamics, the reference frames and the neural processes of spatial representations in healthy subjects and brain damaged patients.We recorded eye movements during the verbal recall of french cities from long-term memory, either through mental imagery of the map of France, or through a semantic access (verbal fluency task). This paradigm was carried out in three different situations: In healthy subjects with free gaze, in healthy subjects with fixed gaze and in patients with unilateral spatial neglect and / or homonymous hemianopia with free gaze. Using bi-dimensional regression (BDR) between ocular positions when cities were evoked and GPS positions of these cities, we could provide an individual analysis in each of these three situations.In healthy subjects with free gaze, we demonstrated that mental imagery is built sequentially and fragmented, and that significant correlation is a signature, at an individual level, of the use of visual imagery. In healthy subjects with central gaze fixation, we have demonstrated that the remaining microsaccades still reflect the spatial content of the imagery in most individuals. In patients with hemineglect, the mental representation of the map of France was disturbed both in the allocentric reference frame (lack of spatial coherence for cities of the left side) and in the egocentric reference frame (mental map shifted ipsilesionally). In subjects with hemianopia, the mental image was shifted contralesionally but was spatially coherent in the allocentric frame.These results are discussed in the light of the different theories on eye movements and mental imagery found in the literature and in particular with respect to the Kosslyn model of imagery in which the primary visual cortex (damaged in hemianopia) corresponds to the substratum of the visual buffer and the right parieto-frontal network to the substratum of the the attentional window and the spatial properties processing system

Annotation:

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with perceptual as well as motor disturbances. Unlike those with right-side onset (RPD), individuals whose motor symptoms begin on the left side of the body (LPD) may experience mild neglect of left hemispace. The functional cause of these perceptual abnormalities in LPD is unknown; possibilities include altered eye movements, changes in perceptual representation of left versus right hemispace, and attentional abnormalities. Three studies explored these possibilities in non-demented individuals with mild-moderate idiopathic PD (24-36 per experiment) and matched normal control adults (NC; 14-24 per experiment). Study 1 consisted of two psychophysical line-bisection experiments that used brief stimulus presentations to preclude exploratory eye movements. In both, participants judged whether a systematically adjusted hatchmark was left or rightward of a horizontal line’s midpoint. In the second, eye tracking was used to ensure that participants fixated during stimulus onset. The first experiment revealed neglect-like performance in LPD, but the second did not, suggesting that neglect may arise from biased eye gaze but not from abnormal saccades. Study 2 evaluated two hypotheses to explain spatial bias in LPD; one an active hypothesis in the literature that the representation of left hemispace is compressed, and the other a novel hypothesis that left hemispace is less salient than the right in LPD. Both hypotheses were assessed psychophysically, using spatial frequency and contrast discrimination paradigms, and neither was supported. Study 3 investigated whether endogenous visuospatial attentional abnormalities exist in PD, and particularly whether LPD show weaker attentional abilities in the left hemifield. A multiple-object tracking paradigm was used along with eye tracking to ensure that participants used only endogenous (not exogenous) attention. PD showed dilated temporal resolution of attention, and were less accurate in tracking multiple objects at once. LPD did not differ from RPD for either of these metrics. Overall the results suggest that there is no intrinsic difference in the representation of space in LPD relative to RPD or NC, but that visuospatial attention is altered in PD generally. The latter finding is particularly important for considering spatial navigation in individuals with PD even in early stages of the disease.

Annotation:

Right parietal lesions often lead to neglect, in which patients fail to attend to leftward stimuli. Recent models of neglect suggest that, in addition to attentional impairments, patients demonstrate impairments of spatial remapping and/or spatial working memory (SWM). Although spatial remapping could be considered a kind of spatial memory process itself (i.e., updating remembered locations based on anticipated saccade outcomes), the two processes operate on very different time scales (milliseconds versus seconds). In the present study, the influence of saccadic and spatial remapping on SWM was examined in healthy individuals. An initial control condition, in which participants had to respond to a probe stimulus (i.e., “is the probe in the location previously occupied by the target?”) following a 1500 ms delay, was contrasted with conditions in which the fixation point moved (left, right, up, or down) at the onset of the delay. In a second version of the task, participants made covert shifts of attention at delay onset requiring covert spatial, rather than saccadic, remapping. In both tasks SWM performance was best when no remapping was required. Decrements in SWM were largest overall in the spatial remapping task, whereas for both saccadic and spatial remapping, a consistent cost was observed for remapping the target array into right visual space. Results are discussed in terms of hemispheric biases in attention and differences in performance for peripersonal versus extrapersonal space.

Background: Previous studies on neglect have shown that there is significant influence to functional outcome to patients with stroke. Less evidence provided neglect subtypes, such as egocentric and allocentric neglect related to function. Purpose: (a) to investigate the performance on spatial attention tests of healthy adults to establish cut-off level; and (b) to investigate personal neglect and extra-personal neglect in patients groups related to function; (c) to exam the neglect subtypes predictive of anosognosia for functional deficits. The hypotheses of this study were (a) neglect subtypes would influence the functional performance in patients groups; (b) anosognosia for functional deficit related to neglect subtypes; (c) when further control age, motor, and sensory, the relationship between spatial attention and function would still remain. Methods: Four extrapersonal neglect tests and one personal neglect test were applied to assess neglect. Self-report and therapist-report Barthel Index (BIS and BIT) were used to measure functional performance. Cut-off level on extrapersonal neglect tests was determined by 81 healthy adults. And 58 patients with right brain damage (RBD) and 57 with left brain damage (LBD) were recruited from the hospital in north Taiwan. Results: The random shape cancellation test was the most sensitive to RBD (62%) and so was the Random Chinese Word Cancellation test to LBD (32%). Besides, neglect subtypes (extra-personal vs. personal neglect; egocentric vs. allocentric neglect) related to different functional status. Anosognosia showed predictive to function of RBD (p<0.001). And after controlling confounders, the correlation still remained. Conclusions: Sensitivity differed from tasks and brain lesion sites. And neglect subtypes influence function, as well as egocentric and allocentric neglect would influence functional performance significantly, especially to patients with RBD. And BIS could be differentiated functional performance of egocentric and allocentric neglect better than BIT. If further analyzed anosognosia score (BID), personal neglect showed the predictive for unawareness of functional deficit.

Annotation:

Spatial neglect has mainly been described through its spatial deficits (such as attentional bias, disengagement deficit or exploratory motor behavior), but numerous other studies have reported non-spatial impairments in patients suffering from this disorder. In the present thesis, non-spatial deficits in neglect are hypothesized to form a core impairment, which can be summarized as a difficulty to learn and benefit from regularities in the environment. The different studies conducted and reported in the present thesis have converged to support this hypothesis that neglect patients have difficulty to interact with environmental statistics. The two first studies, which tested the visual modality (Chapters 2 and 3), have demonstrated that neglect patients have difficulties to become faster to respond to targets that appear successively at the same location (position priming). This difficulty is also more generic, as neglect patients do not learn that some things occur more often than others, such as for example that a target has a high probability to be repeated at a specific region. Those two studies have shown that neglect patients are impaired in position priming and statistical learning, which corresponds to difficulties benefiting from regularities presented in the visual domain. This difficulty may be explained by patients’ impairment in working memory or temporal processing. Several studies have reported the implication of those two mechanism in statistical learning: if patients tend to underestimate the time that a target is presented on the screen and have difficulties keeping in memory its precedent location, this translates into a difficulty to benefit from the repeats of the target position as well as a difficulty to benefit from transition probability. In order to verify if priming and statistical learning impairments were specific to the visual modality or if neglect patients present a multimodal difficulty to learn the transition probability in general, brain damaged patients were tested in the auditory domain (Chapter 5), with a paradigm that has shown statistical learning in infants. This study confirmed that for the auditory modality too, brain damaged patients are impaired in statistical learning. The different results of the studies reported in Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5 converge to support the hypothesis that spatial neglect patients have difficulties benefiting from regularities of their environment. Nevertheless, this impairment is not irreversible, as it was demonstrated by a chronic neglect patient who was trained with three sessions distributed over three days (Chapter 2). Although having similar results to the other patients for the first session, this patients’ performance improved over the sessions to show a faster reaction time for the targets presented on the high probability region (his contralesional side). Therefore, priming and statistical learning investigated in this thesis are worth exploring further for their potential outcome in the rehabilitation domain.

Visual spatial neglect is a neurological syndrome characterized by a lack of awareness and explorative behaviors toward the patients’ contralesional hemispace. It is a multicomponent disorder that is often combined with hemiplegia and anosognosia. Therefore, this multicomponent disorder should be treated with multiple therapies. The purpose of this study was to develop a real-time interactive training system to rehabilitate patients with visual spatial neglect. Two cases of left visual spatial neglect and one normal case were included. The patients were trained 18 times over 8 weeks, and the results were compared to those of the normal subject who received 10 training sessions. The interactive software uses an image processing algorithm to separate the body image of the patient from a background image, thus revealing only the patient’s image on the screen. The patient sees their image, which increases visual feedback and enhances the integrity of their sensory inputs. Therefore, this therapy decreases the severity of anosognosia, allowing the patient to reconstruct their spatial representation. The hand gesture recognition technique allows the patient to interact with the application. This software combines concepts from different therapies to reconstruct brain neurons. The results showed that patients improved attention ability, Star Cancellation, Line Bisection, and Mini Mental State Examination test scores, but no improvements on the Line Cancellation Test was observed. This software helped the patients free themselves from the symptoms of visual neglect and may be a beneficial therapeutic technique.

Body schema is indispensable for sensorimotor control and learning, but it remains unclear whether it is associated with cognitive functions. Data from patients with spatial neglect support this view; yet observations in healthy participants are inconsistent. Here I conducted two sets of experiments examining influences of trunk position: the first probed attention and spatial working memory using a change detection task and a two-back task; the second used different versions of the Posner paradigm to examine whether head-on-trunk position governs disengagement of attention. In none of the experiments did I observe that trunk turns altered performance in the left versus right visual field in an ipsiversive fashion as reported in neglect. Nevertheless, I found that trunk-right position improved performance at eccentric locations of the visual field. The data are inconsistent with previous findings of head-on-trunk effects in normal participants. Further studies are required to clarify these discrepancies.

Additional cognitive deficits, including impairments in spatial working memory and/or saccadic remapping processes, have recently been implicated in unilateral neglect – a neurological condition classically characterized as a disorder of attention. The interactions between saccadic remapping and three memory processes (position memory, object memory and object-location binding) were investigated in healthy young (n=27) and elderly (n=20) participants to establish a baseline of comparison for future use with neglect patients and to study the effects of aging on these processes. In a computerized task, participants were instructed to first detect a target, and then hold in memory either its position, identity or both over a delay period. Subsequently, participants were tested on their memory for that particular task. The saccadic remapping component was introduced at the onset of the delay period with the fixation cross shifting either to the left, or right, requiring participants to remap the visual array into either right or left space, or remaining in the centre of the screen (i.e., no remapping condition). In the position memory and object-location binding task, a consistent cost to memory performance was found when remapping right only for the young participants. Overall the elderly did not perform any of the tasks involving a position memory component as well as the young participants and showed spatial asymmetries in the target detection task. The lack of an effect of remapping in the elderly group may be due to a general decrement in performance. These results are discussed in terms of hemispheric asymmetries and cognitive theories of aging.

Some authors have argued that the primary function of the posterior parietal cortex is to control visual attention and awareness, whereas others have argued that the posterior parietal cortex is specialized for controlling actions. The purpose of the present thesis was to examine the influence of prism adaptation – a visuomotor adaptation technique – on visual attention deficits in patients with lesions of parietal cortex. Lesions to dorsal regions of the posterior parietal cortex lead to optic ataxia – a disorder in which visually guided reaching is disrupted. In contrast lesions to ventral (i.e. inferior) regions of the posterior parietal cortex of the right hemisphere lead to spatial neglect – a disorder in which patients are unaware of people or objects in contralesional (left) space. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the organization of the posterior parietal cortex, as well as an introduction to the disorders of spatial neglect and optic ataxia and the use of prism adaptation as a treatment for spatial neglect. Chapter 2 examined the influence of prism adaptation on attentional deficits in patients with right brain damage. Results demonstrated that prism adaptation reduced both the disengage deficit and the rightward attentional bias, two of the classic attentional deficits in neglect. Chapter 3 investigated the role of the dorsal posterior parietal cortex in controlling both reflexive and voluntary attention in two patients with optic ataxia. Lesions to the dorsal posterior parietal cortex led to both a disengage deficit and a rightward attentional bias, similar to patients with neglect, even though neither of the patients had any clinical symptoms of neglect. Contrary to previous work these results indicated that dorsal portions of the posterior parietal cortex – a region not commonly damaged in neglect – are important for controlling the orienting and reorienting of both reflexive and voluntary attention. Furthermore, these results indicated that optic ataxia is not purely a visuomotor disorder that is independent of any perceptual or attentional deficits as was previously assumed. Based on the results of Chapters 2 and 3 it was hypothesized that the beneficial effects of prism adaptation on attention may operate via the superior parietal lobe, a region which is typically undamaged in neglect, and is known to be important for controlling attention and action. Chapter 4 provided support for this hypothesis by demonstrating that a patient with lesions to the superior parietal lobe, who had the same attentional deficits as the right brain damaged patients tested in Chapter 2, failed to demonstrate any beneficial effects of prism adaptation on his attentional performance. Specifically, prism adaptation had no influence on his disengage deficit or his rightward attentional bias. Therefore, these data provide direct evidence that the beneficial effects of prisms on attention rely, at least in part, on the superior parietal lobe. Finally, Chapter 5 concludes with a summary of the research findings from the present thesis, and puts forward a new theory to conceptualize the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of prisms in patients with neglect.
