Cognitive interaction after staged callosal section: evidence for transfer of semantic activation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sensory and cognitive functions were assessed in a right-handed male before and after partial and complete callosal commissurotomy. After the initial posterior section was made, there was no evidence of interhemispheric sensory transfer, although the left hemisphere did have access to stimulus-related semantic and episodic information from the right hemisphere. After the callosum was completely sectioned, this exchange was no longer observed.

Of interest was whether pragmatic transfer of refusals among three languages spoken by the same person occurs from L1 and L2 to L3, L1 to L2 and then to L3 or from L1 and L1 (if there are more than one L1) to L2. This study ai...

متن کاملCallosal neglect.
BACKGROUND According to the interhemispheric inhibition model of neglect, the uninjured hemisphere inhibits (via the corpus callosum) the injured hemisphere but the injured hemisphere can no longer inhibit the opposite hemisphere, which becomes hyperactive and produces an ipsilesional attentional bias. Alternatively, according to the compensation hypothesis, the uninjured hemisphere helps compe...
متن کاملEvidence for paracallosal verbal transfer after callosal section. A possible consequence of bilateral language organization.
The covert interhemispheric transfer of linguistic information was demonstrated in a commissurotomy patient with bilateral language organization. It was found that under conditions of unilateral stimulation, a verbal association established in one hemisphere was available to the untrained hemisphere as well. Such interhemispheric transfer was observed only for phonetically codable information. ...
