To evaluate the relative role of left and right hemispheres (RH) and describe the functional
anatomy of RH during ortholinguistic tasks, we re-analyzed the 128 papers of a former left …

Stroke is associated with a limited degree of functional recovery. Imaging studies in humans
have shown that reorganization in periinfarct and connected cortical areas most closely …

Previous functional imaging studies of chronic stroke patients with aphasia suggest that
recovery of language occurs in a pre-existing, bilateral network with an upregulation of …

Aphasic deficits are usually only interpreted in terms of domain-specific language
processes. However, effective human communication and tests that probe this complex …

In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), hemispheric dominance is generally
indicated by a measure called the laterality index (LI). The assessment of a meaningful LI …

Parallel generational tasks for music and language were compared using positron emission
tomography. Amateur musicians vocally improvised melodic or linguistic phrases in …

As a psychologist, I was surprised by the huge public interest in The Bell Curve, the book on
human intelligence by psychologist Richard Herrnstein and policy analyst Charles Murray …

A recent study by our group revealed a strong relationship between functional brain
changes in the left hemisphere and anomia treatment outcome in chronic stroke patients (N …

Neurofeedback of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be used to acquire
selective control over activation in circumscribed brain areas, potentially inducing behavioral …

The neural mechanisms underlying recovery of language after left hemisphere stroke
remain elusive. Although older evidence suggested that right hemisphere language …
