Cerebral dominance for language in cerebral palsy. [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1977 A test of cerebral dominance for language was administered to 51 cerebral palsied adults. The test consisted of dichotically presented words and in normal speaking adults had previously demonstrated very marked right ear superiority, interpreted as left cerebral dominance.

Electroconvulsive therapy and determination of cerebral dominance [PDF]
Annals of General Hospital Psychiatry, 2004 AbstractElectroconvulsive therapy (ECT) often results in a number of short- and long-time side effects including memory impairment for past and current events, which can last for several months after ECT treatment. It has been suggested that unilateral ECT (uECT) with electrodes placed over the non-dominant (typically right) hemisphere significantly ...

, 1950 1. The Nature of the Problem: Cerebral dominance and its relationship to the problems of handedness and disorders of the language function are discussed n detail, with comparisons of the theories put for - and by different authorities. 2. How it can be tackled: The essential requirement is early diagnosis and treatment of the syndrome, and emphasis is

Hypothesis on cerebral dominance
Neuropsychologia, 1975Abstract We hypothesize that cerebral dominance is a continuous process which evolves throughout life and which accounts for the age-dependent forms of aphasia. In addition to progressive (left) language lateralization, there may also be a continuing specification within the wider left hemispheric speech zone.

Cerebral Dominance for Consciousness
Archives of Neurology, 1976In a prospective study we evaluated the relationship of level of consciousness to hemispheric side of lesion following acute cerebrovascular injury. Fifty-seven percent of patients with left hemispheric lesions had initial impairment of consciousness, in contrast to 25% with right-sided damage.

Cerebral dominance in monkeys?
Neuropsychologia, 1974Abstract Visual discrimination of several types of stimuli were trained to each hemisphere of split-brain monkeys. Stimuli that differed only in orientation and that were spatially redundant were learned in fewer trials by the left hemisphere than by the right.

Cerebral Dominance in Musicians and Nonmusicians
The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 1974Musically experienced listeners recognize simple melodies better in the right ear than the left, while the reverse is true for naive listeners. Hence, contrary to previous reports, music perception supports the hypothesis that the left hemisphere is dominant for analytic processing and the right hemisphere for holistic processing.

Dominant inheritance of cerebral gigantism
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1977Cerebral gigantism is a syndrome consisting of characteristic dysmorphic features, accelerated growth in early childhood, and variable degrees of mental retardation. Its etiology and pathogenesis have not been defined. Three families are presented with multiple affected members.

THE ONTOGENY OF CEREBRAL DOMINANCE
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1975It has long been known that in most people the language function depends on the activity of the left cerebral hemisphere. It is clear that language develops from a base state of no language. But does language lateralization analogously develop from a base state of no lateralization? It has been generally assumed that this is so.
