In 1907, Rezsö Bálint (1874-1929), a young Hungarian physician, recorded observations he had made on a patient who suffered from a remarkable constellation of symptoms--fixation of gaze, neglect of objects in the visual surround, and misreaching--following damage to the posterior parietal lobes. Although Bálint's syndrome, the name now given to these disorders of attention and visuomotor control, is well established in the neurologic literature, there remain problems of interpretation. Bálint's own attempts to understand exactly what was wrong with his patient offer a unique insight into the nature of neurologic thought at the beginning of this century.
1907年，年轻的匈牙利医生赖热·巴林特（1874 - 1929）记录了他对一名患者的观察结果。该患者在顶叶后部受损后，出现了一系列显著的症状组合——凝视固定、忽视视觉范围内的物体以及伸手失误。尽管现在被称为巴林特综合征的这些注意力和视运动控制障碍在神经学文献中已被广泛认可，但在解释方面仍存在问题。巴林特自己试图确切理解他的患者到底出了什么问题，这为我们洞察本世纪初神经学思想的本质提供了独特视角。
