Observation of tumour-induced reorganization in structural and functional architecture of the brain in three pre-surgical patients with left frontal-temporal brain tumour: a combination of MEG, DTI and neuropsychological assessment [PDF]
Visual function is mainly located within the bilateral hemisphere of the occipital lobes of the brain. However, our functional magnetoencephalography (MEG) result has demonstrated the reorganization of brain activity in the occipital area in patients ...

Brain plasticity in aphasic patients: Intra- and inter-hemispheric reorganisation of the whole linguistic network probed by N150 and N350 components [PDF]
The present study examined linguistic plastic reorganization of language through Evoked Potentials in a group of 17 non-fluent aphasic patients who had suffered left perisylvian focal lesions, and showed a good linguistic recovery.

Nonhuman primates as models of hemispheric specialization [PDF]
The present chapter concerns the issue of hemispheric specialization for perceptual and cognitive processes. In spite of a long-lasting view that only humans are lateralized (e.g., Warren, 1980), there is now strong documentation for anatomical ...

Advances in functional neuroanatomy: a review of combined DTI and fMRI studies in healthy younger and older adults. [PDF]
Structural connections between brain regions are thought to influence neural processing within those regions. It follows that alterations to the quality of structural connections should influence the magnitude of neural activity.

Neural Mechanisms Underlying Paradoxical Performance for Monetary Incentives Are Driven by Loss Aversion [PDF]
Employers often make payment contingent on performance in order to motivate workers. We used fMRI with a novel incentivized skill task to examine the neural processes underlying behavioral responses to performance-based pay.

Lateral Differences in Normal Man and Lateralization of Brain Function
Abstract The historical development of work on lateral differences (LDs) is described and an evaluation is attempted of the present state of the study and of the conceptual and methodological problems which it encounters. Contemporary work is mainly motivated by the notion that LDs reflect hemispheric specialization and thus provide a means of studying

Can the Archaeology of Manual Specialization Tell Us Anything About Language Evolution? A Survey of the State of Play [PDF]
In this review and position paper we explore the neural substrates for manual specialization and their possible connection with language and speech. We focus on two contrasting hypotheses of the origins of language and manual specialization: the language-

Tachistoscopic presentation of verbal stimuli for assessing cerebral dominance: Reliability data and some practical recommendations. [PDF]
Reliability data point to rather high test-retest correlations (>.65) for VHF data with four- and live-letter words as stimuli, but replicate previous findings that the first test score correlates poorly with later test scores.

Anomalous morphology in left hemisphere motor and premotor cortex of children who stutter [PDF]
Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the smooth flow of speech production. Stuttering onset occurs during a dynamic period of development when children first start learning to formulate sentences.
