  • Title: Common hemisphericity of language and music in a musician. A case report.
    Author: Hofman S, Klein C, Arlazoroff A.
    Journal: J Commun Disord; 1993 Jun; 26(2):73-82. PubMed ID: 8345100.
    Abstract:
    Aphasia coupled with amusia is reported in a 73-year-old male musician who was a lawyer by profession. This condition followed an ischemic stroke in the lateral aspect of the parieto-occipital region of the left hemisphere. The patient's music production exhibits jargon amusia, similar to that in his verbal production. This case supports the thesis that language and music may share a common hemisphere.
