Left hemispheric stroke is known to be associated with right neglect and/or not lateralized attentional deficits. The former appears to respond favourably to leftward prismatic adaptation (L-PA), as reported in a case of a large left stroke. In normal subjects, brief exposure to L-PA was ...
Several papers have investigated the effect of stroke on creativity. While initial evidence favored right hemispheric dominance in artwork creation, subsequent well-founded research has established the left hemispheric participation in creativity, supporting the idea of bi-hemispheric role in artistic ...
Effects of bilateral arm training on upper extremity function in right and left hemispheric stroke Objective:This experimental study on 24 stroke patients aimed at evaluating and comparing the effects of bilateral arm training on upper extremity (UE) mot... H Ambreen,H Tariq,I Amjad - 《Jpma ...
Methods; Twenty-one non-aphasic patients with left hemispheric stroke were examined with Chinese Aphasia Examination Scale and asked to draw a human face, a clock and house for assessing their visuospatial ability. Results ;Six out of 21 patients showed pure agraphia, accounting for 28. 6% . ...
‘multiple-demand network’)35,36, shown in Fig.7. Moreover, we identified strong functional connectivity to left hemispheric motor areas, including the primary motor cortex, cingulate gyrus, and internal pallidum but also other prefrontal regions (superior and middle frontal gyri). Previous ...
The left prefrontal cortex is essential for verbal communication. It remains uncertain at what timing, to what extent, and what type of phrase initiates left-hemispheric dominant prefrontal activation during comprehension of spoken sentences. We clarifie
is playing itself out today, one in which has helped to improve the quality of life (less true poverty, although recalcitrant forms of inequality) in many parts of the so-called developing world but has altered the terrain of capitalist democracies in the affluent Northern hemispheric countries....
Together, our results provide strong support for\nthe proposal that spatially specific white matter damage affecting white matter\nbottlenecks, particularly in the posterior temporal lobe, contribute to chronic\nlanguage deficits after left hemispheric stroke. Our results suggest that\ndamage to this ...
BWJ had thrombus to the right internal carotid artery, leading to damage of deep ganglionic nuclei, internal capsule and anterior temporal lobe, and right hemispheric sulci. While this description of BWJ's brain damage suggests that he might not have had damage to regions strongly implicated in ...
Nonetheless, it has been clinically underused for fear of causing thrombotic complications, a fear that in light of recent evidence may be unfounded. (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.doi:10.1016/S0003-4975(01)02910-1Gerald S WeinsteinElsevier Inc.The Annals of Thoracic Surgery...
