  • Look Inside

Our present study was initiated when it was no-ticed by chance in a case of severe aphasia associ-ated with a cerebrovascular disease that his previ-ously learned ability of the go-game had been fairly well preserved. Among our cases of cerebrovascular diseases, 10 patients were found to have had con-siderable learning experience of go- and/or other games. They were submitted to several neuro-psychological tests in order to study correlation between the site of lesions in either hemisphere and the degree or pattern of disturbance in the ability to play the games.

In 3 cases (#5, 6, 7) in which the lesion involved the right parietal lobe accompanied by constructive apraxia and visuospatial agnosia, the ability of go-game was highly disturbed, particu-larly because of neglect of the left half of the go-board.

In 4 cases (#1, 2, 3, 4) in which the lesion was in the left parietal lobe resulting in severe aphasia, the ability of go-game was fairly well pre-served even in the strategic arrangement of go-stones ("fuseki"), the established tactics ("joseki") and the end game ("yose"). They could enjoy the go-game very well.

2 patients with left hemiplegia (#6, 9), became unable to play the Japanese chess and another patient with left hemiplegia (#10) lost the ability to play the go-bang ("gomokunarabe"), whereas another patient with severe aphasia (#8) preserved his ability to play the Japanese flower cards.

These examples indicate that the right cerebral hemisphere must be playing a more dominant role in such games as go-games, Japanese chess, go-bang, Japanese flower cards and mah-jongh in which ar-rangement of figures or signals is the key to play without use of language. These games were em-ployed in reactivating their psychological function and volition.
