大脑两半球的协同活动:右半球切除十四年后某些高级机能的观察

COORDINATE ACTIVITIES OF THE TWO CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES:OBSERVATION OF HIGHER PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTION DURING 14 YEARS AFTER RIGHT HEMISPHECTOMY

本文介绍了一癫痫病人切除右半球14年后大脑工作的情况。神经心理学检查表明:病人在非语言形式如线条、抽象图形的感知、认知和空间关系上遭到一定程度的破坏,但对颜色、音乐、具体人物和环境的认知和空间关系上没有明显障碍。左半球代偿了右半球部分功能,病人能胜任一般工作,并愉快地过着正常生活。

A case of an epileptic patient having had right hemispherectomy for 14 yearsis reported in this paper. A neuropsychological battery was undertaken in Sept. 1980. The tests demonstrated that the patient showed a certain degreeof disruption of non-verbral functions, such as perception and recognition ofa line and abstractive drawing and their spatial orientation. But there wasno apparent impairment in recognition and in spatial orientation of musicalrhythm, color hues and concrete objects. The left hemisphere compensateda part of the function of the right hemisphere. The patient works and livesas usual.
