Interhemispheric transfer in multiple sclerosis

1University of Victoria, Canada.
Interhemispheric transfer (IHT) was investigated in patients with multiple sclerosis (n = 20) and healthy control subjects (n = 23). On verbal dichotic listening and tachistoscopic reading tests, MS patients showed a pattern of left-sided suppression and/or right-sided enhancement, consistent with impairment of IHT. Patients with chronic-progressive MS were most affected. Clinical and empirical implications are noted.
