Domination of one hemisphere of brain

Wernicke noted that not every deficit was in speech production; some were linguistic. Although the macrostructure of the two hemispheres appears to be almost identical, different composition of neuronal networks allows for specialized function that is different in each hemisphere. Oxford: Oxford University Press. The researchers demonstrated that the neurons in the left and the right hemispheres are also capable of synchronising their activity in principle. Thank you for taking your time to send in your valued opinion to Science X editors. Unlike the unaffected family members, they all failed to show activation of Broca's area when asked to silently generate words, and indeed showed no consistent asymmetry at all [89].

Cereb Cortex. Spatial orienting by left hemisphere language areas: a relict from the past? Three large networks interact to connect language with conceptual information[ 1 ]. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. McGilchrist, Iain 9 October Several approaches to the rehabilitation of aphasia are currently available[ 53 , 54 ]: the disorder-oriented approach aims at restoring linguistic processing by providing linguistic treatment; the functional treatment approach aims to achieve an optimal level of communication, given the linguistic deficits; and the participation-oriented treatment emphasizes on dealing with the consequences of aphasia by removing social barriers.

Right Brain. The right cerebral hemisphere: emotion, music, visual-spatial skills, body-image, dreams, and awareness. Language has three highly interrelated and integrated components: cognitive, linguistic, and pragmatic. Particularly, magnetic resonance imaging MRI and positron emission tomography PET are important because of their high spatial resolution and ability to image subcortical brain structures.
