Article Synopsis
- The study investigates a rare condition called agnosia for mirrored stimuli, affecting the ability to distinguish mirrored images from their canonical views.
- The research involved 34 stroke patients, revealing that around 59% had issues with at least one test condition, while only one patient showed a specific impairment in recognizing mirrored stimuli.
- The lesion analysis indicated that different brain regions are responsible for processing mirrored versus rotated images, highlighting the importance of the right visual 'dorsal' pathway in accurately perceiving these stimuli.
Agnosia for mirror stimuli: a new case report with a small parietal lesion.
Arch Clin Neuropsychol
November 2014
Only seven cases of agnosia for mirror stimuli have been reported, always with an extensive lesion. We report a new case of an agnosia for mirror stimuli due to a circumscribed lesion. An extensive battery of neuropsychological tests and a new experimental procedure to assess visual object mirror and orientation discrimination were assessed 10 days after the onset of clinical symptoms, and 5 years later.
