Transfer of language dominance.

H Lee, T Nakada, J L Deal

    Annals of Neurology
    |March 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Recovery from aphasia may involve the nondominant hemisphere taking over language functions. This case study shows a patient with two strokes who experienced similar language recovery patterns, suggesting potential language dominance transfer.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Neurolinguistics
    • Clinical Neurology

    Background:

    • Aphasia recovery is often linked to the brain's ability to reorganize language functions.
    • The role of the nondominant hemisphere in language recovery remains an area of active research.

    Observation:

    • This study details a patient who experienced two separate infarcts in mirror-image temporoparietal regions of both hemispheres.
    • The patient presented with initial Wernicke's aphasia followed by anomic aphasia during recovery after each stroke.

    Findings:

    • The near-identical clinical course and recovery pattern following strokes in both hemispheres suggest a possible transfer of language dominance.
    • This case provides evidence for the nondominant hemisphere's capacity to subserve language functions.

    Implications:

    • Findings suggest that the nondominant hemisphere can potentially compensate for language deficits, offering insights into aphasia rehabilitation strategies.
    • This case highlights the brain's plasticity and adaptability in response to neurological injury.
