Bilingual aphasia: Explanations in population encoding
2019, Journal of NeurolinguisticsLanguage-associated cortical regions in non-proficient Chinese-English bilinguals with glioma
2016, Journal of NeurolinguisticsCitation Excerpt :This procedure is especially important for patients with low-grade glioma (LGG) because some patients can survive over 10 years. As for bilinguals who are equally fluent in both of the languages they speak, brain mapping for each language during brain tumor surgery is mandatory because the language area for the two languages may not be totally overlapping (Bello et al., 2006; Giussani, Roux, Lubrano, Gaini, & Bello, 2007; Kho et al., 2007; Rapport, Tan, & Whitaker, 1983; Roux et al., 2004; Walker, Quinones-Hinojosa, & Berger, 2004). Fluent bilingual patients may have specific language-associated cortical regions—that is, the cortical regions of the two languages do not complete overlap.
Language system organization in a quadrilingual with a brain tumor: Implications for understanding of the language network
2016, NeuropsychologiaCitation Excerpt :Chen et al. 2007 found that proficient L2 speakers had different event-related potential response patterns than native speakers in a task requiring processing of syntactic features that were absent in their native language. In a similar vein, Rapport et al. (1983) who investigated Chinese-English bilinguals reported that in patients who spoke two Chinese dialects, the dialects tended to have a similar recovery pattern, and they recovered before English. We report an unusual case that is informative in understanding the influence of these factors on language organization in the brain.
Lateralization of Language as Demonstrated by Brain Imaging Procedures
2015, International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences: Second EditionLanguage monitoring in multilingual patients undergoing awake craniotomy: A case study of a German-English-French trilingual patient with a WHO grade II glioma
2012, Journal of NeurolinguisticsCitation Excerpt :Nonetheless, the number of ESM studies addressing this topic is still very small. Most of them have investigated the cortical representation of languages (Lucas, McKhann, & Ojemann, 2004; Ojemann & Whitaker, 1978; Rapport, Tan, & Whitaker, 1983; Roux et al., 2004; Roux & Trémoulet, 2002; Serafini, Gururangan, Friedman, & Haglund, 2008; Walker, Quinones-Hinojosa, & Berger, 2004), although some have dealt with the role of subcortical language pathways (Bello et al., 2006; Moritz-Gasser & Duffau, 2009), and others with language switching (Kho et al., 2007; Moritz-Gasser & Duffau, 2009). A common denominator of these studies is the scarcity of behavioural data.
