Activity in the Right Hemisphere after a Second Lesion on the Left Side

Caption

The second lesion, in which large parts of the left hemisphere are not working anymore (A, dark grey), increased the contribution of the right brain. The individual impairment predicted the activation on the right side (A, yellow). The stronger the fibre connection between the sister areas (B, red) on the right side, the less the patient was affected by the interruption on the left.
