I would like to express a belated thank you to all who responded to my question concerning references to studies done on ASL and the brain. My thanks to - Andrew Carstairs-McCarthy Mark Mandel Gary Jasdzewshi Gary Morgan Molly Lash Marc Picard Diane Brentari Jeff Small Torgrin Solstad Joerg Keller The articles mentioned for research on ASL and the Brain were: Kimura, D. (1981): Neural mechanisms in manual signing. In: Sign Language Studies, 33, pp. 291-312. Bellugi, U. (1991): Language and cognition: what the hands reveal about the brain: Presidential special adress. Society of Neuroscience Abstracts, 17, 581. Bellugi, U., H. Poizner & E.S. Klima (1989): Language, modality and the brain. Trends in Neuroscience, 12, pp. 380-388. Sderfeldt, B. (1994): Signing in the Brain: Sign Language Perception Studied by Neuroimaging Techniques. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Armstrong, Stokoe and Wilcox. Gestureand the nature of Language (CUP 1995) H. Poizner, E.S. Klima and U. Bellugi. What the hands reveal about the brain. MIT Press 1987. Neville, H.J. & Bavelier, D. (1998). Neural organization and plasticity of language. Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 8, 254-258. Other good references (cited in the above article) are: 1) Hickock, G., Bellugi, U., and Klima, E. (1996). The neurobiology of sign language and its implications for the neural basis of language. Nature, 381, 699-702. 2) Neville, H.J., Bavelier, D., Corina, D., Rauschecker, J., Karni, A., Lalwani, A., Braun, A., Clark, V., Jezzard, P., & Turner, R. (1998). Cerebral organization for language in deaf and hearing subjects: Biological constraints and effects of experience. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 95, 922-929. I found Neville, H.J. & Bavelier, D. (1998) provided a good update on the research. It was also mentioned that Anne Petitto at McGill works in this area and has a webpage that might be of interest. Again, thank you for all the responses.
