• Resumen

  • Arnaud Saj at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, and his colleagues wondered whether the ability to conjure up a mental timeline is a necessary part of reasoning about events in time. People with hemispatial neglect have trouble imagining the left side of their timeline, and consequently assign past events to the future. Together these results suggest that concepts of time and space share neural underpinnings in the brain, and that the ability to represent space in the mind's eye is vital to the ability to remember and reason about events that occur along that timeline.
