The anatomy of object recognition--visual form agnosia caused by medial occipitotemporal stroke.

4 May 2009 The influential model on visual information processing by Milner and Goodale (1995) has suggested a dissociation between action- and perception-related processing in a dorsal versus ventral stream projection. It was inspired substantially by the ... Read more...

Current advances in the cognitive neuroscience of music.

27 Feb 2009 The study of music perception and cognition is one of the oldest topics in experimental psychology. The last 20 years have seen an increased interest in understanding the functional neuroanatomy of music processing in humans, using a variety of ... Read more...

The evaluation of anosognosia in stroke patients.

4 Feb 2009 BACKGROUND: Anosognosia in stroke patients showed a relevant detrimental effect on the rehabilitation course and patients' quality of life, especially in those with brain injury. Although a number of reliable scales for the assessment of anosognosia ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Agnosia'

Definition: Loss of the ability to comprehend the meaning or recognize the importance of various forms of stimulation that cannot be attributed to impairment of a primary sensory modality. Tactile agnosia is characterized by an inability to perceive the shape and nature of an object by touch alone, despite unimpaired sensation to light touch, position, and other primary sensory modalities.
