Background: Following peripheral nerve lesion, the adult somatosensory system showedcortical reorganizational abilities. Previous studies identified the digits' somatotopy map changes and somatosensory cortical plasticity in response to the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) that affected the dominant hand only. Objective: Answering the remained question is that what the extent of the cortical plasti...

Learner corpora consist of texts produced by second language (L2) learners. I We present ALeS Ko, a learner corpus of Chinese L2 learners of German and discuss the multi-layer annotation of the left sentence periphery notably the Vorfeld.

Recording of neural activity during grasping actions in macaques showed that grasp-related sensorimotor transformations are accomplished in a circuit constituted by the anterior part of the intraparietal sulcus (AIP), the ventral (F5) and the dorsal (F2) region of the premotor area. In humans, neuroimaging studies have revealed the existence of a similar circuit, involving the putative homolog ...

Gerstmann Syndrome is a rare neurological presentation due to lesion in the left dominant parietal lobe, manifesting as tetrad of agraphia, acalculia, finger agnosia and right-left disorientation. We present case 52-year-old man, right hand dominant, who presented Emergency Department with acute confusion for one day. He was disorientated time, place person. Focused examination revealed atypica...

Previous studies distinguish between right hemisphere-dominant processing of prosodic/tonal information and left-hemispheric modulation of grammatical information as well as lexical tones. Swedish word accents offer a prime testing ground to better understand this division. Although similar to lexical tones, word accents are determined by words' morphosyntactic structure, which enables listener...

Two models of brain asymmetry in emotional processing were reviewed: the right hemisphere and the valence hypotheses. The first states a dominant role for the right hemisphere in emotional processing, whereas the second assumes that the left hemisphere is dominant for positive emotions and the right hemisphere for negative ones. Different methods, such as the divided visual field technique, hav...
