Why is it important?
This study is important for demonstrating, as never before possible, a stark example of right hemisphere functional brain organization for lexical semantic processing in an individual with a history of developmental language impairment.
Perspectives
In the very first individual we tested using anatomically constrained magnetoencephalography, we found strong evidence for atypical right hemisphere organization for object representations even during tasks that did not overtly require language comprehension or production.
