Cerebral Metabolic Asymmetries & Assoc Neuro-psych Patterns in Early Dementia of the Alzheimer Type
Arch Neurol 47:753-760, Haxby,J.V., 1990
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In mildly impaired patients,correlations between right-left metabolic asymmetries and neuropsychological discrepancies were insignificant initially but were significant at last evaluation.These results demonstrate that heterogeneous nonmemory language and visuospatial impairments in early DAT are related to and predicted by the earlier appearing distribution of metabolic reductions in the association neocortex.
