Pattern electroretinograms after cerebral hemispherectomy.
Cortically blind patients with brain damage restricted to the optic radiations or primary visual cortex may be able to detect and discriminate visual stimuli presented in their field defects, even though they deny seeing them.

متن کاملDichotic listening after cerebral hemispherectomy: methodological and theoretical observations.
We examined two commonly used dichotic listening tests for measuring the degree of hemispheric specialization for language in individuals who had undergone cerebral hemispherectomy: the consonant-vowel (CV) nonsense syllables and the fused words (FW) tests, using the common laterality indices f and lambda. Hemispherectomy on either side resulted in a massive contralateral ear advantage, demonst...
متن کاملLanguage after hemispherectomy.
We studied the spoken language of 49 children who had undergone hemispherectomy as part of the UCLA Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Research Program and analyzed, among a number of clinical factors, the relation between acquired vs developmental pathology and spoken language outcomes. In this paper we will briefly review the results of our study and attempt to explain (1) why "the early" is not alwa...
متن کاملLanguage after dominant hemispherectomy.
Linguistic and related cognitive abilities were investigated two years after dominant left hemispherectomy for cerebral malignancy in a 12 year old female. Auditory comprehension of speech was superior to other modes of language abilities with expressive speech being the least developed. Findings suggested an isolation or non-communication between the systems for speaking and for writing and vi...
