Systematic evaluation of high-level visual deficits and lesions in posterior cerebral artery stroke.

ABSTRACT: Knowledge about the consequences of stroke on high-level vision comes primarily from single case studies of patients selected based on their behavioural profiles, typically patients with specific stroke syndromes like pure alexia or prosopagnosia. There are, however, no systematic, detailed, large-scale evaluations of the more typical clinical behavioural and lesion profiles of impairments in high-level vision after posterior cerebral artery stroke. We present behavioural and lesion data from the Back of the Brain project, to date the largest (N = 64) and most detailed examination of patients with cortical posterior cerebral artery strokes selected based on lesion location. The aim of the current study was to relate behavioural performance with faces, objects and written words to le
