Does left temporal lobectomy adversely affect the rate at which verbal material can be processed?

abstract：:This study examined the hypothesis that the kinematics of movements performed by PD (Parkinson's disease) patients are differentially affected depending on whether or not the aiming movement has an accuracy constraint. The aiming movements required elbow extension in the horizontal plane on a digitizer. There were two...
