Visual neglect is a problem that commonly follows brain damage rather than damage to the patient's eyes. Although the patient is able to see, the damaged brain does not process all the information, and this results in a restricted field of vision. Patients with visual neglect behave as if they were selectively ignoring one side of their space. These three programs show several examples of visual neglect behavior and demonstrate some of the features that make neglect one of the most puzzling conditions in stroke recovery; also provide an overview of some of the clinical and experimental behaviors commonly associated with visual neglect. The graphic artist profiled in the 3rd segment is Tom Greenshields.
