Dissociation of auditory and visual straight ahead in hemianopia (2009)
Journal Article
Lewald, J., Peters, S., Tegenthoff, M., & Hausmann, M. (2009). Dissociation of auditory and visual straight ahead in hemianopia. Brain Research, 1287, 111-117. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brainres.2009.06.085

The perception of body orientation in space can be significantly affected by unilateral brain damage. One syndrome associated with such a disorder is homonymous hemianopia, resulting from lesions in postchiasmatic afferent visual pathways. Several st...

Recollection is impaired, but familiarity remains intact in rats with lesions of the fornix (2009)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Zinkivskay, A., & Eacott, M. (2009). Recollection is impaired, but familiarity remains intact in rats with lesions of the fornix. Hippocampus, 19(9), 837-843. https://doi.org/10.1002/hipo.20567

It has been argued that a neural system including the hippocampus, fornix, mamillary bodies, and anterior thalamus is specifically involved in recollection, but not in familiarity based memory processes. Here we test this hypothesis using a task of e... Read More about Recollection is impaired, but familiarity remains intact in rats with lesions of the fornix.

Recognition memory, self-other source memory, and theory-of-mind in children with autism spectrum disorder (2009)
Journal Article
Bowler, L. S., & M., D. (2009). Recognition memory, self-other source memory, and theory-of-mind in children with autism spectrum disorder. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39(9), 1231-1239. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-009-0735-2

This study investigated semantic and episodic memory in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), using a task which assessed recognition and self-other source memory. Children with ASD showed undiminished recognition memory but significantly diminished source...

An intact eye-movement system is not required to generate Inhibition of Return (2009)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Jackson, S., & Rorden, C. (2009). An intact eye-movement system is not required to generate Inhibition of Return. Journal of Neuropsychology, 3(2), 267-271. https://doi.org/10.1348/174866408x324377

AI is unable to make eye-movements and has a deficit of reflexive attention. Here, we demonstrate that despite these deficits AI exhibits inhibition of return (IOR) for peripherally cued objects and locations. These data suggest that an intact oculom...

Brief report: Inner speech impairment in children with autism is associated with greater nonverbal than verbal skills. (2009)
Journal Article

We present a new analysis of Whitehouse, Maybery, and Durkin’s (2006, Experiment 3) data on inner speech in children with autism (CWA). Because inner speech development is thought to depend on linguistically mediated social interaction, we hypothesiz...

“Boundary vector cells” were predicted to exist by computational models of the environmental inputs underlying the spatial firing patterns of hippocampal place cells (O'Keefe and Burgess, 1996; Burgess et al., 2000; Hartley et al., 2000). Here, we re... Read More about Boundary vector cells in the subiculum of the hippocampal formation.

Sex differences in left-right confusion depend on hemispheric asymmetry (2009)

Numerous studies have reported that women believe they are more susceptible to left–right confusion than men. Indeed, some studies have also found sex differences in behavioural tasks. It has been suggested that women have more difficulties with left... Read More about Sex differences in left-right confusion depend on hemispheric asymmetry.

Is the origin of the hemianopic line bisection error purely visual? Evidence from eye movements in simulated hemianopia (2009)
Journal Article

It is still unclear whether the contralateral line bisection error in unilateral homonymous hemianopia is caused by the visual field defect, strategic oculomotor adaptation or by additional extrastriate brain injury. We therefore simulated hemianopia... Read More about Is the origin of the hemianopic line bisection error purely visual? Evidence from eye movements in simulated hemianopia.

Effects of sex hormone therapy on interhemispheric crosstalk in postmenopausal women (2009)
