Auditory processing in stroke

By Peter Soros

This study in Neurology asks if a complete infarction of the auditory cortex affects the magnetoencephalographic correlates of auditory processing in the contralateral, unaffected hemisphere. We found no evidence for changes in contralateral auditory processing, suggesting that the auditory system does not reorganize after a large unilateral infarction.
