Abstract:
We describe a peculiar contralesional drawing disorder in three patients affected by focal brain lesions, who did not show signs of unilateral neglect at standard clinical assessment, including the star cancellation test. This picture, that could be termed selective constructional hemi-apraxia (CHA), could follow both right and left-hemisphere lesions and is observed in complex constructional tasks. Future studies are warranted to explore the clinical and functional implications of CHA and its boundaries with unilateral neglect and constructional apraxia.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...
