Insight Into

We know little about the neurologic bases of art production. The idea that the right brain hemisphere is the “artistic brain” is widely held, despite the lack of evidence for this claim. Artists with brain damage can offer insight into these laterality questions. The authors used an instrument called the Assessment of Art Attributes to examine the work of two individuals with left-brain damage and one with right-hemisphere damage. In each case, their art became more abstract and distorted and less realistic. They also painted with looser strokes, less depth and more vibrant colors. No unique pattern was observed following right-brain damage. However, art produced after left-brain damage also became more symbolic. These results show that the neural basis of art production is distributed across both hemispheres in the human brain.

Independent Inquiry

England must take the credit—or blame—for the reinvention of boxing. The sport was a popular part of the Roman games but had vanished by the 5th century. It returned some 1200 years later, when bare-fist prizefights began to be held in and around London. With help from the Marquess of Queensberry, boxing spread around the world, making money for a considerable number of boxing promoters and a smaller number of boxers. It is appropriate, then, that the British Medical Association should be actively involved in examining the sport. In its latest report, The Boxing Debate, which was issued last week, it repeats its call for a ban on boxing and asks for an independent inquiry into its safety. The briefest reading of the report should persuade even boxing's proponents of the need for an inquiry. In its appendix the report prints abstracts of recent research on what happens to boxers after they have been battered in the ring. For professional boxers, several studies make unpleasant reading. One using computerised tomography found 87 per cent of boxers, in a sample of 18, showed evidence of brain damage. Another records that 15 out of 19 young boxers register as impaired on a battery of neuropsychological tests. Particularly disturbing are three studies which show that changes found in the brains of ex-boxers are immunochemically similar to those seen in Alzheimer's disease. That raises the possibility that even boxers who retire from the ring healthy may pay the price in middle age with early onset of Alzheimer's disease.
