Abstract
We are very interested in the letter from Karnath and colleagues and welcome the opportunity to continue this stimulating debate about the anatomy of neglect. Although the arguments advanced by Karnath and his colleagues are interesting, we disagree with them. We hope they will reconsider their interpretation of our findings (Mort et al., 2003), as well as those of Binder et al. (1992), in the light of our responses. In addition, we draw attention to the fact that the limited new data provided in their letter does not actually support well the controversial claim that neglect is associated with superior temporal gyrus (STG) damage (Karnath et al., 2001).Keywords
