  • Title: Case report: recovery and reorganization after congenital unilateral brain damage.
    Author: Nass R.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1984 Dec; 59(3):867-74. PubMed ID: 6522199.
    Abstract:
    Recovery and neural reorganization after congenital left- and right-brain injury is assessed on dichotic listening and tachistoscopic visuo-perceptual tasks. A matched-pair approach for age and type of lesion is used. Over-all, deficits are less pronounced than in adults. Innate specialization of both left and right hemispheres is supported by the data. In addition, a left-right maturational gradient is suggested by the all-around better performance of the child with left-hemisphere pathology. The later maturing, relatively less-committed right hemisphere is better able to compensate after unilateral injury.
