Why Bilateral Damage Is Worse than Unilateral Damage to the Brain
Human and animal lesion studies have shown that behavior can be catastrophically impaired after bilateral lesions but that unilateral damage often produces little or no effect, even controlling for lesion extent. This pattern is found across many different sensory, motor, and memory domains. Despite these findings, there has been no systematic, computational explanation. We found that the same ...
متن کاملO12: The Heart and the Brain: Stroke Induced Heart Damage
Cardiac diseases are common post-stroke and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. One possible mechanism of acute cardiac injury is the neurogenic myocardial damage, where the cerebral injury is disturbing the normal sympathetic and parasympathetic neuronal outflow to the heart leading to cardiac damage including myocardial infarctions. The exact mechanism is not completely und...
متن کاملDirection-selective motion blindness after unilateral posterior brain damage.
Motion blindness (MB) is defined as the selective disturbance of visual motion perception despite intact perception of other features of the visual scene. MB is characterized by a pandirectional deficit of motion direction discrimination and is assumed to result from damage to the visual motion pathway, especially area MT/V5. However, the most characteristic feature of primate MT/V5 neurons is ...
متن کاملPoint localisation in patients with unilateral brain damage.
The ability to reproduce the position of points in a plane was examined by a copying test in a control group and in unilaterally brain damaged patients. The procedure was designed to minimise the influence of visual field defects and of spatial hemi-inattention on performance. Accuracy of of localisation and direction of errors were studied in each half of the plane. Analysis showed a greater i...
متن کاملRadiographic Structural Damage Is Worse in the Dominant than the Non-Dominant Hand in Individuals with Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
OBJECTIVE The relationship between mechanical stress and radiographic progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is unclear. The assumption is that mechanical stress is greater in the dominant hand. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare the presence and progression of erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN) in the dominant and non-dominant hand. METHODS Data from 194 patients ...
