Greater syntactic impairments in native language in bilingual Parkinsonian patients
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the presence of syntactic impairments in native language in Parkinson's disease. METHODS: Twelve bilingual patients, with Friulian as their first language (L1) and Italian as their second…

Illusory movements of the contralesional hand in patients with body image disorders
OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we assess whether illusory sensations of movement can be elicited in patients with right brain damage (RBD). METHODS: Ten RBD patients (three with disorders of…

Plastic interactions between hand and face cortical representations in patients with trigeminal neuralgia: a somatosensory-evoked potentials study
Neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies suggest that pain may play a major role in determining cortical somatosensory rearrangements even in the adult brain. The re-organizational power of pain, however, has been…

Changes in spatial position of hands modify tactile extinction but not disownership of contralesional hand in two right brain-damaged patients
Somatic misperceptions and misrepresentations, like supernumerary phantom limb and denial of ownership of a given body part, have typically been reported following damage to the right side of the brain.…

Uni- and cross-modal temporal modulation of tactile extinction in right brain damaged patients
The influence of ipsilesional tactile and visual stimuli on the ability to detect contralesional tactile stimuli was investigated in eight right brain damaged patients (RBD) with tactile extinction and in…

Timing of tactile and visuo-tactile events is impaired in patients with cervical dystonia
Psychophysical studies show alterations of cross-modal integration and timing processes in patients with generalized and focal hand dystonia. Here we assess the capability of 10 cervical dystonia patients, 5 patients…

Dissociation between taste and tactile extinction on the tongue after right brain damage
In patients with right brain damage (RBD) or left brain damage (LBD) and healthy subjects, tactile and three basic gustatory stimuli (sour, salty, bitter) were applied to the left or…

Magnetic stimulation of extrastriate body area impairs visual processing of nonfacial body parts
Functional magnetic resonance imaging indicates that observation of the human body induces a selective activation of a lateral occipitotemporal cortical area called extrastriate body area (EBA). This area is responsive…
