Frequently Asked Questions (5)
Q2. What are the factors that influence the lateralization of the SLF II?
Larger tract in the right hemisphere could depend on a number of factors, including greater fiber myelination, higher number of axons and larger axonal diameter that are correlated with the conduction speed13, 14.
Q3. What is the trend of lateralization of the SLF II?
The SLF The authoris symmetrically distributed between left and right hemispheres (t(19) < 1); the SLF II shows a trend of right lateralization (t(19) = 1.141; p = 0.268) and the SLF III is right lateralized (t(19) = 6.083; p < 0.001).
Q4. What was the purpose of the line bisection test?
To test whether this lateralization was related to the attentional bias for one visualhemi–field, the authors asked the participants to perform a line bisection test11.
Q5. What is the significance of the correlation analysis?
In light of these previous works, the authors suggest that the left deviation in the5line bisection the authors observed in the majority of subjects may result from unbalanced speed of visuospatial processing between the two hemispheres along the SLF II.
