Functional connectivity during language processing in acute cocaine withdrawal: a pilot study.

abstract：:Previous studies on visual form agnosic patients have shown that their color perception is relatively preserved when monochromatic figures are used. However, it is unclear whether their color perception remains normal when figures are composed of two parts in different colors. The results showed that patient X.F. had ...
