Disability in US presidents report. Recommendations and commentaries by the Working Group. The Working Group on Presidential Disability.

If the president of the United States must decide within minutes how to respond to a dire emergency, its citizens expect him or her to be mentally competent and to act wisely. Because the presidency of the United States is now the world's most powerful office, should its incumbent become even temporarily unable to exercise good judgment, the consequences for the world could be unimaginably far-reaching.

[The consequences of stroke for the artist Lovis Corinth].

The artist Lovis Corinth suffered a right-hemispheric stroke at the age of 53 years but only died 14 years later. The huge amount of work he produced after this life threatening disease allows detailed analysis of his post-stroke artwork in comparison to pre-stroke. When performing this analysis as a neurologist, an enormous diversity of subtle stroke sequelae can be discovered that are mostly explained by left-sided hemi-neglect. These findings clearly go far beyond pure psychological processes. Moreover, Corinth is a motivating example for disabled patients because he was able to produce great artwork after his stroke. He was struggling against a motor disability admittedly not severely affecting his artistic production, but also against severe neuropsychological deficits that did have clear consequences. Lovis Corinth left us the credo "True art means to use unreality". Taken together with the often cited phrase "Drawing means to leave out (details)", a clear-cut interpretation for neurologists can be derived from the understanding of right-hemisphere lesions and subsequent left-sided neglect.
