The emotional experience of non-dominant (right) cerebral hemisphere stroke survivors: an existential Heideggerian exploration
… experience of people with nondominant (right) cerebral hemisphere stroke. More specifically, this study aimed to explore the way people with right cerebral hemisphere stroke experience, understand, express, and adjust to emotions post stroke. Method: Qualitative phenomenological research was …

Right hemisphere decline in the perception of emotion as a function of aging
The hypothesis that the right cerebral hemisphere declines more quickly than the left cerebral hemisphere in the normal aging process was tested in two studies using a facial recognition and a response time task. In Study 1, subjects (N=60) were asked to identify facial affect fram 50 standardized …

Evuloção cognitiva e funcional de pacientes pós-acidente vascular cerebral - AVC
… level (43%), ischemic stroke (91%), and right cerebral hemisphere (74%). Motor FIM scores and NIHSS scale showed improvement in the 3 evaluations, with significant p-value (<0.001). There was a strong relation between motor FIM evolution and NIHSS evolution (r = - 0.69 p-value< 0.001). …

Functional cerebral asymmetry: a test of the selective activational model
… were designed to selectively prime each cerebral hemisphere to evaluate Kinsbourne's selective activation model. The left hemisphere priming manipulation for both experiments was subvocal rehearsal of neutral words, whereas right hemisphere primes consisted of imagery (Experiment 1) and …

Cerebral Laterality, Emotion, and Cardiopulmonary Functions: An Investigation of Left and Right CVA Patients
… of a CVA patient differs as a function of the cerebral hemisphere that is damaged by the stroke, especially in terms of emotional changes. The Right Hemisphere Model of Emotion posits that the right hemisphere is specialized for processing emotional content, regardless of valence. In contrast, …

Strengths and weaknesses of the spousal relationship following a stroke
… caregiver relationship in relation to the cerebral hemisphere affected by the stroke, the gender of the stroke spouse, the functional capacity of the stroke spouse, the length of time since the stroke, and the socioeconomic status of the couple. Forty stroke spouses, who had received …

Brain Electrical Activity in Infants of Depressed and Anxious Mothers
… are associated with different patterns of cerebral hemisphere activation and that specific patterns of electroencephalographic (EEG) asymmetry may indicate risk for depression and anxiety. The extant developmental psychopathology literature has examined patterns of EEG asymmetry in the …

An Investigation of Semantic Invariance in Human Speech
… included examinations of the influence of cerebral laterality and interpersonal sensitivity on phonetic symbol skill. It was hypothesized that phonetic symbolism would correlate positively with right cerebral hemisphere processing and high interpersonal sensitivity.</p><p>With the exception …

Modulation of lateralised responses to primary affect
Do we use one cerebral hemisphere or both to process positive and negative emotions? Is it more physiologically economical for the brain to initiate responses to both types of primary affect from a unilateral locus, or does our readiness to react to emotional stimuli depend on the differential …

Verbal Memory Through the Looking Glass: The Impact of Encoding Strategy, Age, and Hemispheric Biases on Memory for Physical Form
… biasing encoding to the left (LH) or right cerebral hemisphere (RH). In all four experiments in this series, test words appeared in either the same (same-case) or opposite (different-case) letter case as the corresponding study item; the required response varied across experiments. When …

Attachment, Empathy and Social Ability as Correlates of Leftward Cradling in Students
… to soothe an infant. Current research supports a cerebral laterality hypothesis, which suggests that this bias emerges because of the specialised decoding and processing of facial emotional expressions, affect, and socio-emotional stimuli, as well as non-verbal aspects of communication, all of …

Glioma produced periostin attracts human neural stem cells
… a rat brain expressing a secretable POSTN in one cerebral hemisphere induced migration of NSCs that were inoculated in the contralateral of hemisphere. We found that POSTN bound to integrin alphaV beta5 complex in NSCs promoted phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and protein kinase B …

Postmortem image analysis of the human brain to characterize Alzheimer's disease and related dementias
… we introduce and leverage a postmortem whole-hemisphere MRI dataset to link neuropathological markers derived from gold-standard histopathology examination with morphometry measurements derived from structural MRI. This dissertation presents a set of computational image analysis methods and …

The relationship between BRAF genetic alterations and the risk of tumour recurrence in Pilocytic Astrocytomas in children diagnosed at Red Cross Children's Hospital over a 33-year period
… were located in the cerebellum, followed by the cerebral hemisphere (18.84%). The tumour recurred in 21 individuals, of which 3 had incomplete surgical resections. 46.16% of supratentorial tumours recurred compared to a recurrence risk of only 20.93% in infratentorial tumours. BRAF …

A Neuropsychological Investigation of Cerebral Dominance and Dyslexia
… of dyslexla based upon the concept of incomplete cerebral domlnance. Briefly, Witelson's theory hypothesized that dyslexia occurs in those individuals whose braln functlons are not sufficiently laterally specialized in the usual manner, that is, with language or verbal processing specialized in …

Conjugate-lateral eye movement behavior in later childhood

Predictive inference generation in the cerebral hemispheres: An investigation of time course and reader goals
… of how predictive inferences are process in the cerebral hemispheres. Thus, the current study used a divided visual field paradigm to investigate how reading goals, textual constraint, and SOA influence predictive inference generation in the right and left hemisphere. Four experimental studies …

Neuropsychological Functioning and Regional Cerebral Blood Flow: A Comparison Between Aged Normals and Alzheimer’s Type Dementia.
… Xenon inhalation method of determining regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). In addition, correlations between rCBF detectors and Luria-Nebraska localization scales were investigated in order to ascertain possible agreement on focal areas of functional brain tissue loss. Nine subjects with …
