Manual preferences for visually- and haptically-guided grasping
2015, Acta PsychologicaCitation Excerpt :When infants (4 to 6 months of age) are given a cylinder to explore, the left hand spends more time than the right hand touching the object, which was suggested as a left-hand advantage for haptic processing (Morange-Majoux, 2011). Patient studies show that individuals with right- but not left-hemisphere damage show bilateral impairment on tactile tasks, attributing the findings to a left-hand/right-hemisphere advantage for haptic processing (Cannon & Benton, 1969; Fontenot & Benton, 1971; Milner & Taylor, 1972; Zaidel & Sperry, 1973). Together this evidence suggests that the right hemisphere plays a pivotal role in haptic processing.
Effects of temporomandibular joint sensory deprivation on cerebral activity during clenching
2012, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and PathologyCitation Excerpt :The parietal association cortex receives input from cerebral sensory areas and thalamus and integrates and interprets sensory information about the size and shape of objects [24]. A previous paper on the activation area of the cerebral cortex regarding stereognosis reported a right hemispheric dominance [25,26]. The left parietal association cortex was activated during left TMJ sensory deprivation, in a pattern similar to that observed during non-anesthesia trials.
Bilateral hand representations in human primary proprioceptive areas
2011, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Corkin et al. (1970) have reported ipsilateral somatosensory deficits in patients with lesions of the postcentral gyrus. Several studies have shown more somatosensory errors in patients with right cerebral lesions compared to patients with left hemisphere lesions and significantly greater ipsilateral deficits after right cerebral damage (Boll, 1973; Corkin et al., 1970; Fontenot & Benton, 1971). Brasil-Neto and de Lima (2008) reported a decreased sensitivity to moving tactile stimuli at the ipsilateral hand for the first time also in chronic stroke patients (Brasil-Neto & de Lima, 2008).
The tickly homunculus and the origins of spontaneous sensations arising on the hands
2011, Consciousness and CognitionCitation Excerpt :The literature on the lateralization of tactile perception is quite confusing. Several findings in healthy volunteers (Cohen & Levy, 1988; Ernest, 1998; Fogliani, Fogliani-Massina, Barletta, & Caruso, 1982; Weinstein & Sersen, 1961; Yamamoto, 1982; Yamamoto & Hatta, 1980) and brain-damaged patients (Boll, 1974; Fontenot & Benton, 1971; Sterzi et al., 1993) suggest right hemisphere superiority in right-handers, and yet meta-analyses failed to establish this clearly (Summers & Lederman, 1990). Interestingly, most studies in which a left hand/right hemisphere superiority was found for tactile processing involved spatial aspects, thus leaving open the question of whether the lateralized patterns reflected tactile or spatial processes.
