Objective: Functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) is already a well established tool for individual language lateralization. In this study we applied fTCD to investigate individual lateralization of mental rotation as a complex visuo-spatial function in healthy volunteers. Methods: 48 right handed healthy controls (27 male; 21 female age=26,8±6,6) participated in this study. Cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) was measured simultaneously and continuously in both middle cerebral arteries (MCAs). During the 20 activation periods subjects were asked to perform a mental rotation task, during which pairs o…
