RUI: The Neural Mediation of Left-Right Response Differentiation

执行一项任务的能力，其中涉及对权利的选择 与左边的关系取决于两个边之间的连接。 个脑袋 这些连接由一束神经纤维进行 叫做胼胝体 在这个奖项中，努南博士将 探讨手术对左右辨别力的影响 胼胝体破裂和选择性损伤各种 大脑皮层的各个区域， 胼胝体 他以前的研究表明，手术破坏 连接两个半球的大脑通路实际上 改善左右分化，该奖项将探索更多 精确地定位这种现象的解剖学位置。 许多 研究的各个方面将由本科生进行 学生，谁将获得宝贵的经验，在基础科学 工作 这项研究将有助于了解大脑 负责协调空间信息的过程 它允许一个人在 环境

The ability to perform a task which involves a choice of right versus left depends upon connections between the two sides of the brain. These connections are carried by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. in this award Dr. Noonan will investigate the effects on right-left discrimination of surgical disruption of the corpus callosum and selective damage to various areas of the neocortex which are interconnected by the corpus callosum. His previous work has shown that surgical disruption of brain pathways which interconnect the two hemispheres can actually improve right-left differentiation and this award will explore more precisely the anatomical localization of that phenomenon. Many aspects of the research will be performed by undergraduate students, who will receive valuable experience in basic scientific work. This research will contribute to understanding the brain processes which are responsible for mediating spatial information that allows an individual to navigate successfully in the environment.
