Cerebral hemispheric asymmetries in processing lexical metaphors.

abstract：:Congenital mirror movements (CMMs) have been traditionally thought to occur due to the corticospinal tracts that project abnormally to both sides of the body. More recently, it has been suggested that both brain hemispheres are activated during intended unilateral movements due to deficient transcallosal inhibition, l...
