Lateralization of auditory-cortex functions

Brain Research Reviews, 2003
In the present review, we summarize the most recent findings and current views about the structural and functional basis of human brain lateralization in the auditory modality. Main emphasis is given to hemodynamic and electromagnetic data of healthy adult participants with regard to music- vs. speech-sound encoding.

Lateralized Differences in Olfactory Function

The Laryngoscope, 2007
AbstractBackground: Birhinal testing of odor identification will not allow the detection of unilateral olfactory loss. The aim of the presented study was to evaluate side differences of odor identification in large groups of healthy subjects and in patients with nasal symptoms.Participants and Method: Self‐assessment of olfactory function and ...

Assessing Functional Laterality

1988
A considerable amount of research evidence suggests that the cerebral hemispheres of the human brain serve independent cognitive functions. Neuropsychological assessments rely upon this concept in making inferences concerning the integrity of the brain.

Primary lateral sclerosis: Predicting functional outcome

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Degeneration, 2012
Our objective was to investigate functional outcome in primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). We followed a group of 24 patients with PLS. Clinical (ALSFRS), respiratory, and neurophysiological (electromyography and transcranial magnetic stimulation) evaluations were performed at entry and regularly over the follow-up period.

Function of lateral line canal morphology

Integrative Zoology, 2015
AbstractFish perceive water motions and pressure gradients with their lateral line. Lateral line information is used for prey detection, spatial orientation, predator avoidance, schooling behavior, intraspecific communication and station holding. The lateral line of most fishes consists of superficial neuromasts (SNs) and canal neuromasts (CNs).

Lateralization of function in rats

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1983
Research findings during the past several years have shown that the rat's brain is lateralized for a number of behavioral functions. Neurochemical and anatomical asymmetries have also been found and, in some instances, have been associated with the behavioral asymmetries. It has also been found that extra stimulation in early life can enhance existing

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and thyroid function

Journal of Neurology, 1989
We elected to study thyroid status in ALS. The diagnosis of ALS was established on the basis of history, clinical and laboratory examination, electrophysiological study, and muscle biopsy. The thyroid function tests were carried out in 32 of these patients (20 men and 12 women aged 26-64 years, with a mean of 52.7)

Respiratory function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Neurological Sciences, 2003
The aim of this study was to examine the vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1) in relation to the site of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) onset and the duration of the disease. Respiratory involvement is the principal cause of death in ALS patients. The study was conducted at the Department of Neurology, University School

Tooth eruption symmetry in functional lateralities

Archives of Oral Biology, 2001
Dental casts and oral photographs from a cross-sectional sample of 2092 young North Americans with detailed information on functional lateralities (eyedness, handedness and footedness) were examined to compare the proportions of symmetrical and asymmetrical eruption of the antimeric (left-right, contralateral pair) permanent teeth using a four-grade ...

Cognitive function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1997
Cognitive function in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has drawn recent attention. However, the pathogenesis of cognitive dysfunction in patients with ALS remains uncertain. To explore the underlying mechanism for cognitive dysfunction further, we studied 26 patients with ALS (15 male and 11 female; age from 36 to 67 years) by using ...
