  • Title: Language functioning after bilateral prefrontal leukotomy.
    Author: Stuss DT, Benson DF, Clermont R, Della Malva CL, Kaplan EF, Weir WS.
    Journal: Brain Lang; 1986 May; 28(1):66-70. PubMed ID: 2424546.
    Abstract:
    Three groups of patients with orbital frontal lesions secondary to leukotomy were compared to psychiatric and normal control groups on a series of tasks involving language. The results indicated that chronic orbital frontal lesions, at least in the patients in this study, do not affect language as defined by the tasks used in the study. The frontal lobes, when implicated in language, appear to require dorsal-lateral or medial cortical involvement.
