Abstract
A case of a left-hander with left hemispheric language is reported. After callosotomy, he could use the left hand to write only random letters and digits, and he became right-handed for writing. Writing by left-handers with left hemispheric language dominance may be accomplished by transcallosal transmission of the linguistic content from the left hemisphere to the right.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
