Rags to riches: our increasing appreciation of cognitive and communicative abilities of the human right cerebral hemisphere.
نویسنده
چکیده
Studies of right hemisphere abilities have grown from focusing on visuospatial and facial recognition in the 1950s to covering a broad spectrum of human behavior. The emergence of better understanding of auditory specializations, affective/emotional functions, personal relevance, idiosyncratic lexical organization, and the various aspects of language use--communicative pragmatics--is briefly reviewed.

متن کاملPerceiving emotion: There’s more than meets the eye
In the late 1800s, Jackson Hughlings [1] noted that the halting speech characteristic of aphasia that accompanied left hemisphere lesions was curiously attenuated when patients’ vocalizations were laced with emotional vigor. This surprising spared fluency for offensive language is at once an amusing neurological anecdote as well as a landmark finding in human ‘affective neuroscience’ — the stud...
متن کاملThe Effect of Different tDCS Protocols on Drug Craving and Cognitive Functions in Methamphetamine Addicts
Background and objective: Drug craving is considered to be a major problem in addiction treatment. Neuroimaging research has revealed various areas for drug craving, among which two key areas are the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the cerebellum. The DLPFC is involved in different cognitive tasks like the inhibitory control over seductive options harboring the promise of immediate r...
متن کاملDT-MRI Tractography and its Application in Cognitive Neuroscience
Recent advancement of MRI techniques and development of new methods of image analysis have allowed us to study large neural tracts within the human brain. This is based on the principle of diffusion tensor MRI that is similar to that of diffusion-weighted imaging but takes magnitude and direction of the diffusion of water into account. Using this technique we have been able to define large neur...
