Causes and consequences of unawareness (anosognosia) of tool-action errors after left-hemisphere stroke https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.31.715610v1

@aaronlwong.bsky.social @laurelbuxbaum.bsky.social & @sthibault.bsky.social found that incongruence between tool & hand motions may exacerbate competition between motions of the hand & tool. Resolving this competition is challenging for people with #LimbApraxia. 👉 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40925673/

(1) A new study, led by our postdoc @sthibault.bsky.social and Institute Faculty @aaronlwong.bsky.social & @laurelbuxbaum.bsky.social, examined how conflicting hand and tool motions affect individuals with limb apraxia.

Drs. Simon Thibault, @aaronlwong.bsky.social & @laurelbuxbaum.bsky.social published new research in the journal Cortex. This study in people w/ left hemisphere stroke shows that naturalistic action impairments arise from both praxis & attention control deficits. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Check out my new paper with @laurelbuxbaum.bsky.social and @aaronlwong.bsky.social. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... We found that naturalistic actions (such as preparing a breakfast) are supported by both the praxis and attention control/allocation systems.

Cognitive neuropsychological and neuroanatomic predictors of naturalistic action performance in left hemisphere stroke: A retrospective analysis

Individuals who have experienced a left hemisphere cerebrovascular accident (LCVA) have been shown to make errors in naturalistic action tasks designe…

Activity in Occipito-Temporal Cortex Is Involved in Tool-Use Planning and Contributes to Tool-Related Semantic Neural Representations

Abstract. Tool use and language are highly refined human abilities which may show neural commonalities due to their potential reciprocal interaction during evolution. Recent work provided evidence for...
