  • Patients are numbered in the order that they came to our clinic. All patients were right handed and had left hemispheric dominance for language as determined by the Wada test unless indicated otherwise. FSIQ=Full scale IQ estimated from WAIS-R; T=temporal; hip=hippocampal sclerosis; T/hem=temporal hemosiderosis; F=frontal; L=left; R=right; += present. −=absent.

  • 1-150 These patients were able to move their limb minimally when asked to do so during the phantom movement trial;

  • 1-151 left handed subject; the Wada test indicated bilateral dominance for language.
