The measurement of language lateralization with functional Transcranial Doppler and functional MRI. A critical evaluation.

The measurement of language lateralization with functional Transcranial Doppler and functional MRI. A critical evaluation.

Cerebral language lateralization can be assessed in several ways. In healthy subjects, functional MRI (fMRI) during performance of a language task has evolved to be the most frequently applied method. Functional Transcranial Doppler (fTCD) may provide a valid alternative, but has been used rarely. B...
