Abstract

The specialized role of the posterior right hemisphere in visual perception was first advanced by John Hughlings Jackson in 1864. Twelve years later, Jackson (1876/1958) described a patient whose course of illness confirmed his speculations about the lateralization of higher visual function. The clinical onset of illness in Jackson’s patient was marked by a sudden episode of spatial disorientation. Although the patient had resided in the same neighborhood for 30 years, she could not find her way to a nearby park that she had visited frequently. Jackson observed that his patient suffered from what he called “imperception”: the inability to recognize objects, persons, and places. Within months, the patient developed a left hemiplegia and rapidly deteriorated to coma and death. Autopsy revealed a large tumor in the posterior right hemipshere, with two smaller tumors in close proximity.

I would still advocate the view I brought forward in the Lancet that the right cerebral hemisphere is the scat of perception. (Jackson, 1875/1958, p. 59)
