While the left-hemispheric dominance for language in most right-handers is unquestionable, clinical observations suggest that the right, nondominant hemisphere has a considerable capacity for language. Under certain neuroanatomical conditions, the right-hemispheric capacity becomes functional and, thus, measurable. This study focuses on evoked language responses during electrical stimulation of the right hemisphere in three left-dominant patients undergoing temporal lobe resections for medically intractable seizures.
虽然大多数右利手者的语言功能由左半球主导这一点毋庸置疑,但临床观察表明,右侧的非优势半球也具有相当的语言能力。在某些神经解剖学条件下,右半球的这种能力会发挥作用,从而可以被测量。本研究聚焦于三名因药物难治性癫痫而接受颞叶切除术的左优势半球患者在右侧半球电刺激期间诱发的语言反应。
