Résumé
A precise understanding of the neural substrates underlying tactually-related cognitive impairments such as bilateral tactile agnosia, bilateral agraphesthesia, kinesthetic alexia and kinesthetic reading difficulty is currently incomplete. In particular, recent data have implicated a role for the lateral occipital tactile visual region, or LOtv, in tactile object naming (Amedi et al. Cerebral Cortex 2002). Thus, this study set out to examine the degree to which the LOtv may be involved in tactually-related cognitive impairments by examining two unique cases. To assess whether LOtv or the visual word form area (VWFA) is involved in tactually-related cognitive impairments, the average activation point of LOtv and that of VWFA were placed on the single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) cerebral blood flow images of two patients: one with bilateral associative tactile agnosia, bilateral agraphesthesia, and ineffective kinesthetic reading, and the other with kinesthetic reading difficulty. The average LOtv coordinate was involved in the area of hypoperfusion in both patients, whereas that of VWFA was not included in any of the hypoperfused areas. The results support the view that interruption of LOtv or disconnection to LOtv and to VWFA may cause these tactually-related cognitive impairments. Further, bilateral associative tactile agnosia and bilateral agraphesthesia are attributable toward the damage of the occipital lobe, whereas unilateral or predominantly one-sided associative tactile agnosia and agraphesthesia are attributable toward the damage of the parietal lobe.
