- Abstract
- This chapter outlines results from permanent and reversible lesion experiments in monkeys. It also describes these in the light of current knowledge of the anatomical and functional organization of the parietal and frontal cortices. It first briefly establishes the current anatomical and functional background with respect to which monkey lesion experiments have to be interpreted. Cortical ablation studies in monkeys have demonstrated that neglect can occur following lesions of either the periarcuate frontal or the inferior parietal regions. In addition, it has been shown that the inactivation of distinct parietal and frontal subregions can generate selective deficits in visual attention and in target and movement selection, largely confirming the functional role originally postulated for these areas on the basis of single-cell recording studies.
