    "title": "Making it Right: Can the Right-Hemisphere Compensate for Language Function in\nPatients with Left-Frontal Brain Tumors?",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Both the degree to which the left-hemisphere is specialized\nfor language and the relative ability of the right-hemisphere\nto subserve language function are underspecified. The\npresent study sought to identify whether the right-frontal\nfMRI activation seen in a number of case studies in patients\nwith left-sided brain lesions exists as a group-level trend in\npatients with left-frontal tumors. It also sought to examine\nthe possible compensatory nature of this activation. Thus, a\nretrospective analysis of 197 brain tumor patients who had\nundergone pre-surgical fMRI language mapping was\nconducted. Patients with left-frontal tumors were found to\nbe more likely to show right- or co-dominant fMRI\nactivation during language mapping tasks compared to\npatients who had tumors elsewhere in the brain. Further,\npatients with left-frontal tumors who were identified as\nright- or co-dominant for language were found to possess\nmore intact language function as measured by the Boston\nNaming Test.",
