    Neuropharmacology 50:777-87. 2006
    ..The results suggest that the behavioral enhancement in the stroke+nicotine group might be attributable to the enhanced dendritic growth in residual cortical motor regions...

    Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, Canadian Centre for Behavioral Neuroscience, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, Alberta T1K 3M4, Canada
    Synapse 55:183-91. 2005
    ..The results suggest that plasticity coincidence with skilled training is essential to skilled motor learning, but this expenditure can impair subsequent learning...

    CIHR Group on Action and Perception, Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada N6A 5C2
    Exp Brain Res 182:275-9. 2007
    ..Our results show that handedness in left handers does not extend to precision grasp and suggest that right handedness for visuomotor control may reflect a universal left-hemisphere specialization for this class of behaviour...
  7. ncbi Hemispheric specialization for the visual control of action is independent of handedness
    Claudia L R Gonzalez
    Canadian Institutes of Health Research Group on Action and Perception, Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, London N6A 5C2, Canada
    J Neurophysiol 95:3496-501. 2006
    ..We conclude that visuomotor mechanisms encapsulated in the left hemisphere play a crucial role in the visual control of action and that this hemispheric specialization evolved independently of handedness...

    Melvyn A Goodale
    CIHR Group on Action and Perception, Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario N6A 5C2, Canada
    Perception 37:355-66. 2008
    ..This latter finding suggests that some of the critical components of the encapsulated (bottom-up) systems that mediate the visual control of skilled reaching and grasping movements are lateralised to the left hemisphere...

    Claudia L R Gonzalez
    Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, Canada T1K 3M4
