Abstract
Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) has been mainly investigated in the visual modality; only few studies compared spatial neglect across different sensory modalities, and explored their multisensory interactions, with controversial results. We investigated the integration between vision and haptics, through a bisection task of a cross modal illusion, the Judd variant of the Müller-Lyer illusion. We examined right-brain-damaged patients with (

Neglect patients showed the characteristic rightward bias in the bisection of the baseline stimuli in the visual modality, but not in the haptic and visuo-haptic conditions. The illusory effects were preserved in each group and in each modality, indicating that the processing of the cross modal illusion is independent of the presence of deficits of spatial attention and representation. Spatial neglect can be modality-specific, but visual and tactile sensory inputs are properly integrated.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Albert, M L" uniqKey="Albert M">M.

USN is characterized by the patients’ failure to report sensory events taking place in the portion of space contralateral to the side of the lesion (contralesional), and to explore through motor acts that portion of space (Vallar, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">1998</xref>; Halligan et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B44">2003</xref>; Heilman et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B45">2003</xref>; Husain, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B51">2008</xref>). A rightward bias in line bisection is considered one of the signatures of USN (Bisiach et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">1976</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">1983</xref>; Schenkenberg et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B74">1980</xref>), which has been mainly investigated in the visual modality, with fewer studies assessing the haptic modality, and reporting controversial results.</p><p>The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to compare the severity of left USN, as assessed by a line bisection task, in two unimodal visual, and haptic conditions, which were entirely comparable except for the availability of unisensory information; (ii) to assess the patients’ ability to combine information from different sensory modalities, i.e., vision and haptics. To this aim, we used a line bisection task involving the processing of a cross modal illusion that we had previously used with neurologically unimpaired individuals (Mancini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">2010</xref>).</p><p>As established by motor exploratory tasks, USN may occur in both the visual and the tactile modality (De Renzi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">1970</xref>; Beschin et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">1996</xref>; Haeske-Dewick et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">1996</xref>). Evidence has however been provided to the effect that USN may be less severe and even absent in the tactile modality, in the absence of visual input. An early and seminal observation is provided by Gilliatt and Pratt (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B40">1952</xref>) about a right-brain-damaged (RBD) patient who showed severe left USN, when required to circle pins using a pencil with eyes open; conversely, with eyes closed, the patient explored the whole board up to the extreme left. A number of subsequent studies found a visuo-haptic difference, with USN being more severe in the visual modality for spatial exploratory tasks (Chedru, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">1976</xref>, in RBD patients with a visual-half-field deficit; Villardita, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B94">1987</xref>; Gentilini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">1989</xref>; Schindler et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B75">2006</xref>). However, in the study by Chedru (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">1976</xref>) RBD patients without visual half-field deficits showed a more severe USN when blindfolded. Importantly, there is evidence that the deficit may be modality-specific (Cubelli et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">1991</xref> re-analysis of the data of Gentilini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B39">1989</xref>; Vallar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B84">1991b</xref>). Particularly, in their re-analysis Cubelli et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">1991</xref>) reported four RBD patients who showed a disproportionate rightward bias with open eyes, but not with eyes closed, in a task requiring to explore a keyboard; three patients showed the opposite pattern (rightward bias with eyes closed), while five patients were impaired in both conditions. Other studies found a double dissociation between visual and tactile USN, reporting patients with a defective performance either in the visual or in the tactile modality (Perani et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B65">1987</xref>, Appendix 2; Barbieri and De Renzi, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">1989</xref>; Vallar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B84">1991b</xref>).</p><p>In line bisection tasks, the available studies indicate that the rightward bias appears to be confined to the visual modality (Fujii et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">1991</xref>; Hjaltason et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">1993</xref>; Chokron et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">2002</xref>). In haptic bisection, no rightward bias has been found, with left USN being almost absent (for a review, see Brozzoli et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2006</xref>; Gainotti, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">2010</xref>). Taken together, these findings indicate that USN may be more severe in the visual than in the tactile modality. The deficits may also be modality-specific in exploratory tasks, conjuring up a double dissociation (Vallar, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B80">2000</xref>) between vision and touch, and suggesting the existence of modality-specific attentional and representational components (Vallar, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">1998</xref>). In line with this idea, a rehabilitation study showed that a 6-weeks visual attention training improved visual but not tactile detection of left-sided targets (Làdavas et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B55">1994</xref>). Finally, it is also well-known that visual and tactile extinction to double simultaneous stimulation may occur independently of each other after unilateral brain damage (Vallar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B90">1994a</xref>; Hillis et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B48">2006</xref>).</p><p>The evidence for modality-specificity, currently framed in the broader context of a multi-componential attentional/representational account of the USN deficit (Barbieri and De Renzi, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">1989</xref>; Vallar, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">1998</xref>), may be contrasted with an early interpretation of the syndrome in terms of a higher-order sensory impairment, hypothesized as a defective “spatial summation” and termed “amorphosynthesis” (with the primary function of “morphosynthesis” being the recognition of form, Denny-Brown et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">1952</xref>). <italic>“The loss of visual components of such morphosynthesis in addition to tactile factors, is the basis of unawareness of part of extrapersonal space and unawareness of self, without disorder of the concept of space or of body schema. Such unawareness differs considerably from simple loss of sensation”</italic> (ibidem, p. 470). While the very concept of amorphosynthesis is admittedly vague, it appears to suggest the impairment of a higher-order spatial factor, related to different sensory modalities.</p><p>In our experimental task we used a well-known visual illusion, the Judd figure, that has proven to be cross modal (Mancini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">2011</xref>). Visual illusions are a tool for investigating implicit processing in USN, since illusory effects arising from the left side of space can be preserved and do not require perceptual awareness to occur (see Vallar and Daini, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B85">2006</xref>, for a review). Among these, the Müller-Lyer illusion consists in a line at which ends two outward- or two inward-oriented arrowheads are located. In line bisection tasks, the Judd variant of this illusion (namely, a line with two identical arrowheads at its ends; Judd, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B53">1899</xref>; Holding, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B50">1970</xref>) has been used (Ro and Rafal, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">1996</xref>; Mancini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">2010</xref>). The bisection of the shaft is shifted toward the tail end under visual and haptic presentation in neurologically unimpaired participants; furthermore, the visual illusion transfers cross modally, modulating bisection in the tactile modality. The spatial correspondence between the visual and the tactile stimuli constituting the cross modal illusion has a crucial role in the cross modal transfer (Mancini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">2010</xref>).</p><p>Although the Müller-Lyer illusion has proven to be useful for studying implicit processing in the contralesional space in patients with left USN, these investigations have been confined to the visual modality: haptic and cross modal illusory effects have not been investigated so far (Vallar and Daini, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B85">2006</xref>). We therefore examined right brain-damaged patients with and without left USN in the bisection of the Judd variant of the Müller-Lyer illusion under visual, haptic, and visuo-haptic presentation. We aimed at assessing whether visuo-tactile interactions were preserved in these patients. The ability of RBD patients with left USN to combine visuo-haptic information could also provide an experimental assessment of the “amorphosynthesis” hypothesis.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods"><title>Materials and Methods</title><sec><title>Participants</title><p>Fourteen RBD patients and 14 neurologically unimpaired participants took part in the study (see Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref>). RBD patients were subdivided into two groups, with and without left USN (N+/N−), as assessed by a standard neuropsychological battery (Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref>). Even if a perusal of Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref> suggests that N+ patients may be older (as previously found in larger series of patients, Leibovitch et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B56">1998</xref>; Gottesman et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B41">2008</xref>), the age of the participants of the three groups was comparable, as assessed by a one-way analysis of variance [<italic>F</italic>(2,25) = 3.16, <italic>p </italic>> 0.60].

All 14 RBD patients had unilateral stroke lesions in the right hemisphere. All patients were right-handed, and had no history or neurological evidence of previous neurological diseases, psychiatric disorders, or dementia. All patients had a normal or corrected-to-normal vision. Contralesional motor, somatosensory, and visual half-field deficits, including extinction to tactile and visual double simultaneous stimuli, were assessed by a standard neurological exam (Bisiach and Faglioni, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">1974</xref>). Visual field defects were also assessed by kinetic Goldmann perimetry, and by a computerized program testing six different positions in both the left and right hemi-fields, at different eccentricities (3°, 6°, 12°). The visual field of two N− patients (P10 and P14) was tested with our customized program only.</p><p>The lesion site and size were assessed by CT or MRI scan. Lesions were mapped for each RBD patient using the MRIcro software (Rorden and Brett, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B72">2000</xref>) and were drawn manually onto selected horizontal slices of a standard template brain. Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref> shows the overlapped lesion maps of the 14 RBD patients, separately for patients with and without left USN. In N+ patients the maximum overlap involved the right putamen, insula, and frontal inferior orbital cortices (seven patients); in N− patients the maximum overlap was observed over the right rolandic operculum, the superior temporal pole, and the insula (three patients). Overall, lesions were more extensive in the N+ group (mean volume of the lesion = 126 cc, SD ± 79.51, range 74.44–282.76 cc) than in the N− group (mean volume of the lesion = 41.04 cc, SD ± 54.24, range 1.22–129.16 cc), in line with previously reported evidence in large series of patients (Hier et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B46">1983a</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B47">b</xref>; Leibovitch et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B56">1998</xref>).</p><fig id="F1" position="float"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p><bold>Lesion site of patients with and without USN</bold>.

The patients’ task was to mark with a pencil the mid-point of six horizontal black lines (two 10 cm, two 15 cm, and two 25 cm in length, all 2 mm in width), presented in a random fixed order. Each line was printed at the center of an A4 sheet. The length of the left-hand side of the line (i.e., from the left end of the line to the participant’s mark) was measured to the nearest millimeter. This measure was converted into a standardized score (percentage deviation), namely: (measured left half minus objective half)/objective half × 100 (Rode et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B70">2006b</xref>). This transformation yields positive numbers for marks placed to the right of the objective physical center, negative numbers for marks placed to the left of it.

Participants did not see their right forearm, which was covered by the wooden support (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>C).</p><p>In all presentation conditions (visual, haptic, visuo-haptic) the two lengths of the shaft (10, 12 cm), and the three types of stimulus configuration (baseline with vertical ends; leftward outgoing/rightward ingoing fins; leftward ingoing/rightward outgoing fins) generated six possible stimuli. Each type of stimulus was presented eight times, for a total of 48 trials. For each participant and for each session, a different random sequence was used. Two practice trials, one baseline, and one illusory stimulus selected at random, were administered at the beginning of each session (visual, haptic, visuo-haptic), and were not included in any subsequent analyses.</p><p>After each response, using a ruler, the experimenter measured to the nearest millimeter the bisection error, namely, the distance between the subjective mid-point set by each participant and the objective center of the shaft. A rightward deviation of the subjective mid-point carried a plus sign, a leftward deviation a minus sign. A percent error as related to the length of each shaft (10, 12 cm) was subsequently computed.</p><p>In order to assess the presence of USN in each sensory modality, percent errors of the baseline bisection task were first submitted to three analyses of variance (ANOVA), one per Presentation Modality, with one within-subjects main factor (<italic>Shaft Length</italic>: 10, 12 cm), and one between-subjects main factor (<italic>Group</italic>: N+, N−, C).</p><p>Subsequently, for each participant, average percent errors in each illusory stimulus condition were corrected for the average percent error in the baseline stimulus.

(1) The rightward bias in bisection characteristic of patients with USN was present only in the visual modality, not in the haptic and visuo-haptic conditions. (2) Illusory effects were preserved in each modality, revealing that the processing of the illusion is independent of the presence of spatial attentional deficits. (3) Visual and tactile inputs were properly integrated by RBD patients with left USN.</p><sec><title>USN within and between sensory modalities</title><p>Our results support the view that left USN can be modality-specific. In the present study, USN (as evaluated by a bisection task) was present in the visual modality only, since USN patients showed a preserved performance in the haptic and cross modal presentation conditions. It may be noted, however, that in the haptic modality USN patients did make a more rightward error with the longer stimulus (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>), unlike patients without USN and control participants. This pattern might be taken as possible evidence of a minor tactile USN. In the visuo-haptic condition (visual illusion and haptic line bisection), illusory effects were biased rightwards in USN patients as compared with control participants (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>), possibly indicating transfer of the visual USN in the tactile domain.</p><p>Overall, these results are in line with the evidence that USN is absent or less severe in the tactile than in the visual modality: a number of studies reports almost preserved tactile bisection in patients with visual USN (Fujii et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">1991</xref>; Hjaltason et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">1993</xref>; Chokron et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">2002</xref>). We cannot exclude that in the present experiment the use of short rods (<12 cm) might have hidden deficits in haptic bisection: particularly, this is suggested by the fact that USN patients show a small rightward bias (see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>) in the haptic bisection of longer (12 cm), but not of smaller rods (10 cm). However, longer rods have been used in previous studies that do not report a greater rightward error in haptic line bisection in USN patients than in control participants (Fujii et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">1991</xref>, four lengths from 8 to 20 cm in 4 cm steps; Hjaltason et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">1993</xref>, 20, and 40 cm; Chokron et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">2002</xref>, 20, and 22 cm). Interestingly, the experiment of Hjaltason et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">1993</xref>) includes a visuo-tactile task, in which participants indicate the perceived mid-point after having ran the index finger along the rod. Even in that condition (which differs from the visual one in that tactile exploration of the rod is required), RBD patients with left USN show no significant rightward error. In our visuo-haptic condition, the rod to bisect is explored only haptically, and participants are allowed to see its ends.</p><p>It is possible that our selection criteria for USN, based on visual tasks, may have prevented the inclusion of patients with haptic USN, at least in part accounting for the present results in terms of selection bias. However, it should be noted that previous studies reporting the absence of USN in haptic line bisection adopted similar selection criteria, namely the presence of visual USN (Fujii et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">1991</xref>; Hjaltason et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B49">1993</xref>; Chokron et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">2002</xref>). In any case, in the baseline experimental task we assessed visual and haptic (as well as visuo-haptic) line bisection, replicating the previously reported visuo-haptic dissociation.</p><p>The rightward bias exhibited by RBD USN patients in visual bisection can not be traced back to initial rightward biases or to a general position preference for the side ipsilateral to the side of the lesion (ipsilesional; Campbell and Oxbury, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">1976</xref>; Costa, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">1976</xref>), since the shafts are short (10 and 12 cm) and the participants’ open hand covered the whole stimulus at the beginning of each trial.</p><p>Multisensory interactions have been rarely investigated in USN. One area of research involves the effects of physiological stimulations that improve a number of manifestations of the USN syndrome (Vallar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B88">1997</xref>; Kerkhoff, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B54">2003</xref>; Rode et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">2006a</xref>; Chokron et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">2007</xref>). Vestibular stimulation ameliorates left-sided somatosensory deficits (Vallar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B92">1990</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B82">1993b</xref>; Bottini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">2005</xref>). Prism adaptation improves tactile deficits (Maravita et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B59">2003</xref>). Optokinetic stimulation may either ameliorate or worsen proprioceptive deficits of position sense in RBD patients with left USN (Vallar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B81">1993a</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B86">1995a</xref>). Also auditory USN, as indexed by a contralesional left-sided deficit with dichotic stimuli, is ameliorated by prism adaptation (Jacquin-Courtois et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">2010</xref>). The effects of these stimulations are essentially similar across sensory modalities and depend on the characteristics of the sensory stimulations (e.g., side, left vs. right, and type, warm vs. cold stimulation, in the case of caloric vestibular stimulation: see reviews in Vallar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B88">1997</xref>; Kerkhoff, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B54">2003</xref>; Rode et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B69">2006a</xref>; Chokron et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">2007</xref>). Importantly, these stimulations are thought to modulate spatial processing or attention (biased ipsilaterally in USN patients), rather than being considered as an index of preserved multisensory integration. In particular, the typical paradigm of these studies involves the assessment of the patients’ performance in unimodal tasks.</p><p>More direct evidence comes from the finding that in RBD patients the detection of contralesional visual stimuli is improved by the concomitant presentation of stimuli in another sensory modality (i.e., auditory), depending on the temporal and spatial coincidence of the sensory inputs (Frassinetti et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">2002b</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">2005</xref>). Differently from the effects of the sensory stimulations discussed above, these effects have been interpreted as based on the integrative contribution of multisensory neurons and neural networks, spared in patients with USN (Stein and Stanford, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B78">2008</xref>). In particular, since these cross modal effects have been found both in patients with sensory deficits (namely, hemianopia) and with visuo-spatial deficits (namely, USN), the underlying mechanisms might involve preserved multisensory integration, with effects similar to those found in neurologically unimpaired participants (Frassinetti et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B31">2002a</xref>; Bolognini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">2005</xref>). These studies investigated the multisensory integration of multiple sources of information about the same stimulus, i.e., coincident visual and auditory targets. A different form of integration is the <italic>combination</italic> between non-redundant sensory inputs, necessary to form a robust and coherent representation (Ernst and Bulthoff, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">2004</xref>). The present study aimed specifically at investigating whether multisensory combination is preserved in USN, using the transfer of the illusion from vision to haptics as an index of effective integration.</p><p>The present results suggest that multisensory combinations, over or above contralesional unimodal sensory deficits, are preserved in RBD patients with USN, and are therefore independent of the presence of spatial deficits. This conclusion is further supported by two findings: first, patients exhibit visual but not, or minor, haptic USN; second, illusory effects are not modality-specific. Interestingly, in the visuo-haptic condition (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>), the finding that N+ patients show a greater overall rightward bias with respect to control participants may be taken as a further evidence of visuo-haptic integration, as if visual USN cross modally affected tactile bisection. The preserved multisensory interactions reported here do not extend to other haptic processes, such as shape recognition, that was defective in four out of seven N+ patients and in one out of seven N− patients. Overall, shape recognition and cross modal integration appear to rely on largely independent processes, which, in turn, do not involve the spatial attentional resources defective in USN.</p><p>Consequently, results from the present visuo-haptic paradigm do not lend support to the “amorphosynthesis” hypothesis of Denny-Brown et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">1952</xref>), even though this account was formulated in rather vague terms. More recently, Brandt et al. (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">2009</xref>) proposed that USN reflects the damage of a multisensory integration center for attention and orientation (MSO) in the temporo-parietal cortex. The MSO is assumed to be bilateral, but the center localized in the right hemisphere is held to be dominant, in that it exerts a greater inhibition of the contralateral left MSO, and a greater excitation of the ipsilateral visual cortex. The net result is that a right-sided temporo-parietal lesion of the MSO brings about visual USN mainly through a reduced activity of the right-sided visual cortex, which is further inhibited by the contralateral visual cortex. This model considers USN mainly as a visual phenomenon, and therefore could seem in accordance with the present results at first analysis. However, USN has been found also in the tactile (Vallar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B83">1991a</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B82">1993b</xref>; Smania and Aglioti, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B77">1995</xref>) and auditory (Bisiach et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">1984</xref>; Vallar et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B87">1995b</xref>; Jacquin-Courtois et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B52">2010</xref>) modalities, in line with the multi-componential nature of the disorder (Vallar, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B79">1998</xref>). Also, the multisensory integration features of the MSO center do not appear supported by the present results, which clearly reveal preserved visuo-haptic interactions in RBD patients with left USN.</p></sec><sec><title>Processing of the judd illusion</title><p>The illusory effects are preserved in each sensory condition, and independent of the presence of USN. Preserved leftward illusory effects have been already demonstrated in the visual modality, using variants of the Müller-Lyer figure (see Daini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">2002</xref>; Vallar and Daini, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B85">2006</xref>, for reviews). These findings are in striking contrast with the evidence that the explicit processing of the left-sided portion of such stimuli is defective, as assessed by the verbal report of left-sided fins (Mattingley et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B60">1995</xref>) and by same-different judgments (Ro and Rafal, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B68">1996</xref>; Olk et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">2001</xref>). Here we demonstrate for the first time that also tactile and cross modal illusory effects are preserved in RBD patients with left visual USN. Therefore, the Judd illusion can be a powerful tool for evaluating multimodal visual, haptic, and cross modal processes.</p><p>The present findings provide a definite indication that the spatial and attentional resources disrupted by USN do not play an important role in the processing of illusions such as the Judd variant of the Müller-Lyer figure. These processes may be largely non-spatial in nature, with the illusion eliciting a bias in mechanisms involved in cross modal shape representation in ventral stream networks (Vallar and Mancini, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B89">2010</xref>; Mancini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">2011</xref>). A recent study from our laboratory indicates that a region in the extra-striate visual cortex, the lateral occipital complex, is a crucial underpinning of the multisensory Judd illusion (Mancini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">2011</xref>). This region is not a lesional correlate of USN, as assessed by line bisection tasks. In our patients the cortico-subcortical lesions mainly involve frontal and centro-parietal regions, relatively sparing the extra-striate visual cortex (see Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>). Anatomo-clinical correlation studies in RBD patients with USN show that the rightward bias in line bisection is associated with posterior lesions (Binder et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">1992</xref>): specifically, to the inferior parietal lobule (Mort et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">2003</xref>; Verdon et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B93">2010</xref>), and at the temporo-occipital junction (Rorden et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B73">2006</xref>).</p><p>In the present study the illusory effects were assessed by a line bisection task. This method, which provides a measure of the Müller-Lyer and related illusions, has been largely used in neuropsychological investigations of the processing of illusory visual stimuli (review in Vallar and Daini, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B85">2006</xref>), and specifically using the Judd illusion, in previous studies from our laboratory (Mancini et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">2010</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">2011</xref>). In studies performed in neurologically unimpaired participants other response effectors have been investigated, such as saccadic eye movements, visually guided pointing, and grasping, with different results. Saccades are biased by the illusion, suggesting no dissociation between this type of action and perception (see the meta analysis of Bruno et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">2010</xref>). As for visual effects, the prediction could be made that USN patients, being sensitive to illusory effects as assessed by line bisection, would exhibit a modulation of saccades by illusory stimuli. Beside saccades, the visual illusion can also affect grasping movements (Bruno and Franz, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">2009</xref>). Conversely, visually guided pointing is not affected by the illusion (see the meta analysis of Bruno et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">2008</xref>). This finding is taken as broadly consistent with the distinction between vision-for-perception and vision-for-action (Milner and Goodale, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">2006</xref>; Gangopadhyay et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">2010</xref>), with the illusion arising in the visual perceptual ventral stream and not affecting the vision-for-action dorsal stream. However, the positive effects on saccades and grasping “do not appear to support independent spatial representations for vision-for-action and vision-for-perception” (Bruno and Franz, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">2009</xref>).</p></sec><sec><title>Clinical implications</title><p>USN includes both perceptual and premotor components, with the former involving a defective conscious spatial representation of sensory and internally generated events in the contralesional side, the latter an impairment in performing movements in a contralesional direction (“directional hypokinesia”), and a general ipsilesional bias (Vallar and Mancini, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B89">2010</xref>). The present study did not aim at disentangling perceptual and premotor components of USN. This would require specific paradigms, which should contrast perception and action in a more or less compatible way. Nevertheless, we believe that the rightward bias we found in the visual bisection of baseline stimuli is likely to be mainly perceptual in nature for three main reasons. (i) The stimuli (10 and 12 cm in length) fit comfortably into the participants’ hand, which was placed over the stimulus at the beginning of the trial, thus minimizing the need of manual exploration. (ii) The preserved illusory effects, as assessed by manual line bisection, involve both rightward and leftward shifts, performed by the unaffected right hand. (iii) Premotor pathological mechanisms appear to be less frequent determinants of USN than the perceptual deranged components (Gallace et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">2008</xref>; Vallar and Mancini, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B89">2010</xref>).</p><p>Finally, on a clinical note, the present findings that USN can be absent in the tactile domain and spare cross modal interactions support the importance of including a multimodal assessment in diagnostic batteries, and of setting up multisensory-based rehabilitation approaches rather than the traditional visual treatments (Pizzamiglio et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B67">2006</xref>; Schroder et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B76">2008</xref>). The most important functions of multisensory integration are likely to be maximizing information delivered from the different sensory modalities, reducing the variance in the multisensory sensory estimate, in order to increase its reliability (Ernst and Bulthoff, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">2004</xref>). Left USN may cause a bias in one modality, but the brain can take advantage of other preserved sensory modalities to help correcting it. Treatments that support these processes should be encouraged.</p></sec></sec><sec><title>Conflict of Interest Statement</title><p>The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.</p></sec></body><back><ack><p>This work has been supported in part by University of Milano-Bicocca FAR grants to Emanuela Bricolo and Giuseppe Vallar, and by Ricerca Corrente grants to Giuseppe Vallar, from the Italian Auxological Institute, Milan, Italy.
