[Interhemispheric asymmetry in unilateral brain damage].

Hemispheric functional changes and interhemispheric interactions were studied by the bioelectrical parameters of asymmetry in the unilateral brain damage. The magnitude of interhemispheric asymmetry was found to depend upon the site of injury, achieving its maximum at the right-sided localization of a pathological process and slightly changing at the left hemispheric tumor site. The application of functional tests was accompanied by profound increases in asymmetry as compared with the baseline. The findings may be an informative predictive tests for the course of an inflammatory process.
