Select clinical variables for adults with right hemisphere brain damage.

Participant Months postonset Type of stroke Left neglect diagnosed at onset Location of lesiona
1 140 Unknown No Superior right basal ganglia, right cerebral white matter (associated with Wallerian degeneration); left cortical cerebellum
2 132 Ischemic No Right centrum semiovale; right subinsular cortex extending to corona radiata
3 58 Hemorrhagic Yes Subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting right parietal and temporal lobes
4 14 Ischemic No Right frontal periventricular white matter; right basal ganglia and centrum semiovale
5 48 Hemorrhagic No Right temporal lobe—inferior lateral cortex and white matter with some extension into occipital white matter; right thalamus
6 45 Ischemic No Right hemisphere (not otherwise specified)
7 244 Ischemic No Posterior right frontal lobe and adjacent anterior right parietal lobe with extension to posterior temporal insular cortex and posterior and lateral right basal ganglia
8 162 Ischemic Yes Extensive encephalomalacia replaces right frontal lobe and right parietal lobe with some sparing of cortex posteriorly and laterally; also involves medial, posterior, and superior right temporal lobe; extends to right basal ganglia
9 24 Ischemic No Right cortical because of right middle cerebral artery stroke (not otherwise specified)
10 38 Ischemic Yes Small superior–posterior right frontal and posterior medial right parietal cortical infarct; larger posterior lateral right temporal/occipital cortical infarct
11 119 Ischemic No Medial right occipital lobe extending posteriorly to the medial right occipital cortex
12 73 Ischemic No Mid- to posterior right temporal lobe involving the cortex of the right frontal and parietal lobe superiorly and laterally
13 108 Unknown No Right parietal cortex and white matter; posterior right frontal white matter and lateral right basal ganglia
14 24 Unknown No Cortex and white matter of posterior right frontal lobe and anterior right parietal lobe

Location of lesion is based on structural magnetic resonance imaging scans performed at the time of participation in the current study for Participants 1,5, 7, 8, and 10–14; location of lesion is based on medical records for Participants 2–4, 6, and 9.
