Reviews

this book is a highly recommended resource for anyone in the field of cognitive neuroscience investigating neglect or related topics (attention, spatial processing, awareness). It provides an overview from leaders in the field of the current state of knowledge and the major controversies that arise from this strange but intriguing neuropsychological syndrome. Cortex, 40 This edited book represents the state of the art in research on spatial neglect and related disorders ... The contributors to this book, all leading clinicians and researchers in the field, provide illuminating and scholarly accounts of recent research on the cognitive and neural bases for spatial neglect ... The book will be a valuable reference source for clinicians, particularly those working with stroke patients in rehabilitation settings where neglect can be a formidable barrier to effective therapy. It will also prove indispensable for students and researchers who are seeking an up to date account of experimental and theoretical advances in spatial neglect. JNNP
