Comparison of auditory deficits associated with neglect and auditory cortex lesions

► It has been debated if auditory extinction reflects neglect or auditory cortex lesions. ► Here we studied patients that suffer from neglect, an auditory cortex lesion, or both. ► Results show that extinction in dichotic tests is found for both groups. ► Dichotic target detection was more consistently disturbed after auditory cortex lesions. ► Auditory lateralization perception was more typically affected in neglect.
