The trip was a blur of summits, state dinners, arrival ceremonies, bilateral meetings, speeches and news conferences — many held in gorgeous tropical settings.
For instance, the study reporting bilateral activation to speech compared with non-speech sounds contrasted speech with silence (Perani et al., 2011), whereas all studies reporting a left-lateralized speech response contrasted speech with another sound (typically non-native speech or backward speech).
Previous neuroimaging studies have consistently reported bilateral activation to speech stimuli in the superior temporal gyrus (STG) and have identified an anteroventral stream of speech processing along the superior temporal sulcus (STS).
The benefits of bilateral CIs for speech perception in children have been evaluated in both noisy and quiet listening conditions.
Neurological examination revealed bilateral papilloedema, slurred speech, dysmetria and dysdiadochokinesis of both arms, and an unsteady gait due to cerebellar ataxia plus mild pyramidal tract and sensory involvement.
Bilateral hearing can improve speech perception; it has been shown with normal hearing aids, but how source localization is affected is still an open question.
Simulation of CSD progression in a single patient with reported scotomas in the right visual hemifield, followed by bilateral brachial paresthesia and speech disturbances.
During passive speech stimulation, bilateral primary auditory cortices (A1) were activated for both groups.
Three had ataxia; one had diplopia; and one had speech difficulties, bilateral ptosis, paresis of eye and pharynx muscles, and paresis of muscles in the left shoulder.
After the acute phenomena subsided, she showed evident cognitive impairment, upper motor neuron pattern of weakness in limb muscles, hyperactive deep tendon reflexes, bilateral Babinski sign, dysarthric speech, and spastic gait.
