在本研究中，我们证明，顶叶患者的视觉消退时，有一个匹配的当前内容的工作记忆和刺激在视野中呈现的意识增强。这种效应不能归因于记忆提示的自动自下而上的启动，因为只有当患者将提示提交给记忆时，消退才会减少，而不是被动地观察启动或仅仅识别启动时。结果表明，重入过程，从工作记忆，调节意识。
In the present study, we demonstrate that parietal patients with visual extinction show enhanced awareness when there is a match between the current contents of their working memory and the stimuli presented in the visual field. This effect cannot be attributed to automatic bottom-up priming from the presentation of a memory cue, because extinction was reduced only when patients committed the cue to memory, and not when primes were viewed passively or merely identified. The results suggest that reentrant processes, from working memory, modulate awareness.
