abstract="Pathological limb pain patients show decreased attention to some stimuli on the painful limb and increased attention to others, a paradox that has dogged the field for over a decade. We hypothesized that pathological pain involves a spatial inattention confined to bodily representations. Patients showed inattention to the painful side for: visual processing of body parts but not letters; tactile processing but not auditory; body-part bisection tasks but not line bisection tasks. We propose the new term 'somatospatial inattention' to describe bodily-specific spatial inattention associated with pathological limb pain. This article is protected by copyright.
