Neurology, 1999
In 1949, Juhn Wada described the use of the intracarotid amobarbital procedure (i.e., Wada test) to determine cerebral language dominance.1 The procedure was later modified at the Montreal Neurological Institute to also assess hemispheric memory,2 and has become a standard component of presurgical evaluation for epilepsy surgery.

Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 1991
The authors describe situations where there are several regions with the Wada property, namely that each point that is on the boundary of one region is on the boundary of all. First, the classical example of the ``Lakes of Wada'' is discussed. Then it is argued by numerical computations (and proved for a somewhat idealized situation) that for the ...

Juhn Atsushi Wada (1924–2023) and the history of the Wada test
Journal of Clinical NeuroscienceEpilepsy is one of the most common neurologic conditions in the world. Surgical treatment for refractoryepilepsy is a method to optimize the quality of life for patients. Throughout his medical career, Dr. Wada examined the underlying mechanism of epilepsy and developed procedures to improve outcomes for his patients.

The Wada test or intracarotid amobarbital procedure (IAP) consists of the short inactivation of one brain hemisphere due to the injection of amobarbital or another short-acting anesthetic into the supplying internal carotid artery (ICA). During the subsequent inactivation period, neurological functions such as language and memory can be tested to ...

Anosognosia during Wada testing
Neurology, 1992Anosognosia, the verbally explicit denial of hemiplegia, is more often reported after right- than left-hemisphere lesions. However, this asymmetric incidence of anosognosia may be artifactual and related to the aphasia that often accompanies left-hemisphere lesions.

Abstract The Wada test—or intracarotid amobarbital procedure—has a rich history in the evaluation of language and memory among presurgical patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and other conditions affecting the temporal lobes (e.g., brain tumor).

Neurology, 1995
Apraxia is the loss of the ability to perform learned skilled movements correctly. In right-handers, apraxia and aphasia are most frequently associated with left-hemisphere lesions. When they are dissociated, however, aphasia is more common in the absence of apraxia than vice versa. There are two hypotheses that can account for this discrepancy: (1) in
