Abstract

Interhemispheric imbalance is discussed as a pathophysiological mechanism in visuospatial neglect. It is suggested that after a lesion of the right hemisphere, the mutual transcallosal inhibition is impaired resulting in an increased activity of the left hemisphere. We investigated interhemispheric balance of attention in healthy subjects using a free visual exploration task and by interfering with the neural activity of the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) of either hemisphere by means of theta burst stimulation (TBS).
