This is what the testings findings said:
"S showed left hemispheric dominance for the receptive and expressive language functions, but no activation of the mesial temporal lobes during novelty scene encoding task. Please note that he had a very good pretesting abiltity to do all the tests outside the scanner. However, all the fMRI studies for language and memory testing yielded low activation levels. Post-scanning recall of the scene encoding paradigm shows about 20% lower recall ability compared to our healthy controls. Clinical correlation is required with respect to the significance of these findings among patients with Asperger's syndrome."
The doctor wrote some things on the sheet, but I can't make them out. I know there was something about the hippocampus...will have to confirm that too!
Are we having fun yet?

I'm a bit confused...if in pretesting outside of the scanner the tests were ok does that mean that somehow he is compensating with the left side since it is "firing" well??? Is it possible that the left side is picking up SOME of the tasks that the right side would normally do?
