The present study examined the performance of a patient who suffered a stroke destroying most of his LH, on slightly modified versions of two hypnotizability scales. This patient was at least mo...
متن کاملFunctional Imaging in Behavioral Neurology and Cognitive Neuropsychology
Introduction What can we hope to learn of the physical operation of the central nervous system and the mental processes that result? The fields of behavioral neurology and cognitive neuropsychology survey this relationship, and have at their disposal powerful intellectual and methodological tools. While the terrain of possible models of brain and behavior interaction seems boundless, particular...
