Recognition and naming of object-drawings by men with focal brain wounds

“…Naming errors predominated in the unilateral dysphasic group, and subjects with marked nominal difficulty in this task had lesions in the left temporoparietal area. This association, reported by Marie and Foix (1917) and Russell and Espir (1961) in gunshot-wound cases, has also been noted in patients with focal brain disease (Mills and McConnell, 1895;Henschen, 1925;Symonds, 1953;Brain, 1961;and Hecaen and Angelergues, 1965). Nominal difficulties have indeed been described as common in otitic abscesses extending through the tegmen tympani and invading the lower part of the temporal lobe (Kinnier Wilson, 1926).…”

Coexistence of Attention-Based Facilitation and Inhibition in the Human Cortex

“…The left posterior parietal cortex is important for arithmetical processing (Ingvar et al, 1997) and lesions here are known to invoke acalculia (Henschen, 1919;Takayama et al, 1994). Its function has also been related to the phonological component of working memory (Baddeley, 1991;Paulesu et al, 1993;Petrides et al, 1993;Smith et al, 1996;Zatorre et al, 1992).…”

Cortical areas involved in Arabic number reading

“…8 Henschen in his works was one of the first to hypothesize that the human brain had a center for reading numbers in the dominant inferior parietal lobe. 30 Moreover, Hécaen et al noted that number alexias were preferentially found in isolated left parietal lesions compared with temporal areas. 31 More recently, isolated cases of preferential impairment for reading numbers and number words in patients with inferior parietal lesions have been reported by several different authors.…”
