Visual agnosia and imagery after Lissauer
Paolo Bartolomeo
Abstract
This year marks the 130th anniversary of the untimely death of Heinrich Lissauer (1861–91). Paolo Bartolomeo explores how the anatomical account of dissociations between perception and imagery deficits proposed by Lissauer in his 1890 article on visual agnosia, resonates with the present debate on the neural bases of visual mental imagery.
