Abstract
Visuospatial neglect is a disorder that can often result from stroke and is characterized by an inability to attend to contralesional stimuli. Two common subtypes include allocentric (object-centered) neglect and egocentric (viewer-centered) neglect. In allocentric neglect, spatial inattention is localized to the contralesional side of an object regardless of its relative position to the observer. In egocentric neglect, spatial inattention is localized to the contralesional side of the individual's midline. The neuroanatomical correlates of each subtype are unknown. However, recent work has suggested that damage to temporal, inferior parietal, and occipital areas may result in allocentric neglect and that damage to frontoparietal areas may result in egocentric neglect. We used voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM) to compare lesion location to behavioral performance on the conventional six subtests of the Behavioral Inattention Test (BIT) in 62 subjects with acute right hemisphere ischemic stroke. Results identified an anatomical dissociation in lesion location between subjects with neglect based on poor performance on allocentric tests (line bisection, copying, and drawing tasks) and on egocentric tests (star, letter, and line cancellation). VLSM analyses revealed that poor performance on the allocentric tests was associated with lesions to the superior and inferior parietal cortices, and the superior and middle temporal gyri. In contrast, poor performance on the egocentric tests was associated with lesions in the precentral gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, insula, and putamen. Interestingly, the letter cancellation test and average performance on egocentric tests were associated with frontal and parietal lesions. Some of these parietal lesion locations overlapped with lesion locations associated with allocentric neglect. These findings are consistent with suggestions that damage to temporal and parietal areas is more associated with allocentric neglect and damage to frontal lobe areas is more associated with egocentric neglect.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
