  • Title: Language in the right cerebral hemisphere: contributions from reading studies.
    Author: Taylor KI, Regard M.
    Journal: News Physiol Sci; 2003 Dec; 18():257-61. PubMed ID: 14614161.
    Abstract:
    Evidence for a right hemispheric involvement in language processing, in particular at the level of word meaning, has emerged within the last half century. Hemispheric functional specializations are dynamic; right hemispheric language participation significantly increases under certain conditions, such as during an epileptic seizure and during recovery from stroke. Interhemispheric connections via the corpus callosum critically mediate these and other higher cortical functions.
