Cognitive Patterns in Early Unilateral Brain Injury: Clinical and Imaging Correlates of the “Crowding” Effect

Poster Session II

Keyword: Literacy

Abstract: This study provides evidence for reorganization of verbal functions in the right hemisphere in young individuals with left-sided brain damage. Impaired non-verbal functions in these subjects suggest prioritization of verbal over nonverbal functions. Extensive unilateral brain damage combined with early-onset seizures was associated with reduced likelihood of such functional reorganization.
