Abstract
IN MOST ADULTS, language function is primarily subserved by the left hemisphere, as indicated by various methods of assessment: lesions studies,1 the intracarotid sodium amobarbital procedure (IAP),2 electrocortical stimulation,3 and functional neuroimaging.4,5 However, the question remains as to whether left hemisphere specificity for language is innate or whether dominance develops as language is acquired.This publication has 39 references indexed in Scilit:
