Document Summary

General studying tips: make your own study guide, generate examples and scenarios, not just definitions, spend some time creating new ways to organize the information that works for you. Create tables or venn diagrams: for all structures, think about experiments that could affect them. What would stimulation or lesioning do: practice explaining concepts out loud. Motor deficits: contra-lateral motor control modestly impaired (limp) Performed in epileptic patients as last resort (uncontrollable seizures) No change in personality, intelligence, or speech (similar results as hemispherectomy, perform diff. on specialized test) Point to what you saw, points to he with left hand. One hemisphere (usually left) tries to make sense of actions. Males: less consistently right handed, no language difference. 15% localize to right hemisphere = no localization. 15% localize to both hemispheres = no localization. Prosody: use of intonation and stress in language to convey emotional tone and meaning. Left ear, right hemisphere advantage in responding to emotional words.
