Reorganization of syntactic processing following left-hemisphere brain damage: does right-hemisphere activity preserve function?
The extent to which the human brain shows evidence of functional plasticity across the lifespan has been addressed in the context of pathological brain changes and, more recently, of the changes that take place during healthy ageing. Here we examine the potential for plasticity by asking whether a strongly left-lateralized system can successfully reorganize to the right-hemisphere following lef...
متن کاملDiscourse Impairments Following Right Hemisphere Brain Damage: A Critical Review
Right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) rarely causes aphasias marked by clear and widespread failures of comprehension or extreme difficulty producing fluent speech. Nonetheless, subtle language comprehension deficits can occur following unilateral RHD. In this article, we review the empirical record on discourse function following right hemisphere damage, as well as relevant work on non-brain dam...
متن کاملHomotopic language reorganization in the right hemisphere after early left hemisphere injury.
To determine the areas involved in reorganization of language to the right hemisphere after early left hemisphere injury, we compared fMRI activation patterns during four production and comprehension tasks in post-surgical epilepsy patients with either left (LH) or right hemisphere (RH) speech dominance (determined by Wada testing) and healthy controls. Patient groups were carefully matched for...
متن کاملTheory of mind and pragmatic understanding following right hemisphere damage.
It has been maintained that 3-year-olds' difficulties in correctly predicting the undesired outcome of false beliefs reflects difficulties in interpreting the implications of conversations rather than a conceptual limitation in their theory of mind. As the right hemisphere has been seen to be responsible for the interpretation of the pragmatic aspects of communication, right-hemisphere-damaged ...
متن کاملRepresentations of Facial Identity in the Left Hemisphere Require Right Hemisphere Processing
A quintessential example of hemispheric specialization in the human brain is that the right hemisphere is specialized for face perception. However, because the visual system is organized contralaterally, what happens when faces appear in the right visual field and are projected to the nonspecialized left hemisphere? We used divided field presentation and fMRI adaptation to test the hypothesis t...
