A selective impairment of perception of sound motion direction in peripheral space: A case study.

It is still an open question if the auditory system, similar to the visual system, processes auditory motion independently from other aspects of spatial hearing, such as static location. Here, we report psychophysical data from a patient (female, 42 and 44 years old at the time of two testing sessions), who suffered a bilateral occipital infarction over 12 years earlier, and who has extensive damage in the occipital lobe bilaterally, extending into inferior posterior temporal cortex bilaterally and into right parietal cortex. We measured the patient's spatial hearing ability to discriminate static location, detect motion and perceive motion direction in both central (straight ahead), and right and left peripheral auditory space (50° to the left and right of straight ahead).

The kinetic study of a regional blood flow in the lower extremities (sphigmorphaphy, rheography) indicates its enhancement against the background of peridural blockade, employed by the authors in 480 of the total number of 1013 various operative interventinuous or prolonged peridural blockade, stabilized automatically or manually, is of a higher quality and may be recommended for a wide clinical application in these patients.
