RY: Okay family …yeah, we got that. So, everytime it talks about right versus left handed what does that mean to you as a neurologist? In terms of the diagnosis of epilepsies? JB: Handedness? Or, … RY: yeah, right handed, left-handed ambidextrous. JB: It has two implications. First is with regard to a language and hemispheric dominance. If someone is right-handed, they have a 98% chance or higher of language being on the left. And so it is there. RY: But, if it’s on the left side, it is 50-50 right? Or has that changed? JB: What do you mean? RY: Meaning if you are left handed, it’s equally… JB: It’s pretty close to that it is about 60/40. But… RY: Got it. JB: But there’s two other issues, one is if someone hasn’t developed handedness that suggests pathology in both hemispheres. And if someone develops handedness too early, so if the story is my three-year-old child has been right-handed since he started playing with a rattle at three months of age, that’s abnormal and what that says is their right hand left hemisphere dominant. The only way that can happen is f there is right hemispheric damange. RY: Okay and is there a threshold time cut off for that? JB: You usually think about a year. |
