[Interhemispheric interactions following unilateral injury to the cerebral cortex]

The object of the study was to examine the time-course of interhemispheral relations under unilateral injury to the somatic or optical cortical pathways. Special attention was paid to the characteristics of the function of the associative parietal cortex and areas that are symmetrical to the location of injury. Transcallosal stimulation allows changing the functional condition of the studied zones. This can be considered as a possible factor inducing development of compensatory-rehabilitative processes in the central nervous system.
