| 18 | Moreover , the possibility that clinical depression may be particularly associated with impaired function of the right hemisphere ( see Chapter 12 ) means that there may be an inherent bias towards poor performance of the right hemisphere in depressed patients . |
| 19 | Moreover , the possibility that clinical depression may be particularly associated with impaired function of the right hemisphere ( see Chapter 12 ) means that there may be an inherent bias towards poor performance of the right hemisphere in depressed patients . |

| 22 | Although frank aphasic symptoms are only rarely seen after lesions of the right hemisphere , or even after total right hemispherectomy ( Damasio , Almeida and Damasio , 1975 ; Smith , 1974 ) in patients with left hemisphere specialisation for language , careful studies are now pointing to certain linguistic impairments in association with right-sided brain damage . |
| 23 | This is shown most clearly by those instances in which a lesion of the right hemisphere has re-instated an aphasia produced earlier by left sided brain damage ( Nielsen , 1946 ) or when amytal injection into the right carotid artery has disrupted the speech of patients previously rendered aphasic by left hemisphere damage ( Kinsbourne , 1971 ) . |
