Neuropsychological correlates of rapidly vs. slowly growing intrinsic cerebral neoplasms.

摘要: Abstract Four groups of patients with intrinsic cerebral neoplasms were compared to determine the differential effect neoplasm (rapidly vs. slowly growing) and lateralization damage (right left hemisphere) upon neuropsychological functioning. No prior study has had enough subjects neoplastic lesions permit this kind investigation. The group rapidly growing consistently greater impairment. Lateralization was found have a on functions. Results indicate that neuropathological characteristics (and probably in general) are important variables understanding behavioral correlates damage.
