Various investigations into the effects of brain injury on psychological test performance (Weisenburg and McBride, 1935; Patterson and Zangwill, 1944; Anderson, 1951; McFie and Piercy, 1952; Bauer and Becka, 1954; Milner, 1954) suggest the overall conclusion that patients with left hemisphere lesions are relatively poor at verbal tasks, while those with right-sided lesions do worst at practical tasks, particularly the manipulation of spatial or spatio-temporal relationships. Heilbfun's (1956) study confirmed that verbal deficits result from left-sided lesions but his left and right hemisphere groups produced almost identical scores on spatial tests. In so far as these workers paid attention to the specific sites of the lesions, their findings indicate that the pattern of test performance is a function of the hemisphere in which the lesion occurs rather than of its specific locus.

SynopsisAs expected, dements, depressives and patients with a mixed psychopathology were differentiated from one another on the sedation threshold measure and on a number of psychological tests. In depressives responding to treatment significant changes in physiological and psychological measures, which had been reported in an earlier study, could not be replicated except for an increase of psychomotor speed. In the present sample of patients there were significant correlations between various psychological measures and between them and the levels of the sedation threshold, suggesting that sedation thresholds and psychological tests measured related cerebral functions. Evidence obtained from the earlier investigations to the effect that cerebral age changes short of those occurring in dementia may facilitate the occurrence of depression in late life was only weakly confirmed by the replication study.

ABSTRACT52 recently abstinent chronic alcoholics were given repeated psychological tests and 20 of these had repeated CT scans. The first scan was done within 5 weeks of the last drink. The degree of measurably reversible cerebral atrophy on CT scan correlated negatively with the interval between the last drink and the first CT scan. Significantly more reversibility of cerebral atrophy was noted in those subjects claiming interscan abstinence. There were positive correlations between functional improvement scores on neurological exam and reversible cerebral atrophy measurements. Significant improvement on psychological test performance was restricted to patients tested initially within 3 weeks of the last drink. Both the CT results and the psychological test results suggest that reversible changes occur soon after the cessation of drinking.
