Right-hemispheric brain activation correlates to language performance
Language function in the right-hemispheric homologues of Broca's and Wernicke's areas does not only correlate with left-handedness or pathology, but occurs naturally in right-handed healthy subjects as well. In the current study, two non-invasive methods of assessing language lateralization are correlated with behavioral results in order to link hemispheric dominance to language ability in heal...
متن کاملRight-hemispheric cortical contributions to language ability in healthy adults.
In this study we investigated the correlation between individual linguistic ability based on performance levels and their engagement of typical and atypical language areas in the brain. Eighteen healthy subjects between 21 and 64 years participated in language ability tests, and subsequent functional MRI scans measuring brain activity in response to a sentence completion and a word fluency task...
متن کاملRight-hemispheric activation approaches to neglect rehabilitation poststroke.
Unilateral neglect is a common neurological syndrome resulting from right-hemisphere strokes and has important prognostic value for functional outcome. This article identifies three approaches to neglect rehabilitation that are based on right-hemispheric activation mechanisms: (a) the lateralized task approach, (b) the controlled sensory stimulation approach, and (c) the limb activation approac...
متن کاملRight-hemispheric organization of language following early left-sided brain lesions: functional MRI topography.
Left-hemispheric (LH) brain lesions acquired early in life can induce language organization in the undamaged right hemisphere (RH). This study addresses the anatomical correlates of language processing in the RH of such individuals. Five hemiparetic patients with left periventricular brain lesions of pre- and perinatal origin were included, in whom fMRI during a word generation task had yielded...
متن کاملSomatic Activation of AKT3 Causes Hemispheric Developmental Brain Malformations
Hemimegalencephaly (HMG) is a developmental brain disorder characterized by an enlarged, malformed cerebral hemisphere, typically causing epilepsy that requires surgical resection. We studied resected HMG tissue to test whether the condition might reflect somatic mutations affecting genes critical to brain development. We found that two out of eight HMG samples showed trisomy of chromosome 1q, ...
