Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of self-disclosure on observers' perceptions of persons who stutter.

Method: Participants (N = 173) were randomly assigned to view 2 of 4 possible videos (i.e.

The "good" limb makes the "bad" limb worse: experience-dependent interhemispheric disruption of functional outcome after cortical infarcts in rats.

Following stroke-like lesions to the sensorimotor cortex in rats, experience with the ipsi-to-lesion (ipsilesional), "nonparetic", forelimb worsens deficits in the contralesional, "paretic", forelimb. We tested whether the maladaptive effects of experience with the nonparetic limb are mediated through callosal connections and the contralesional sensorimotor cortex. Adult male rats with proficiency in skilled reaching with their dominant (for reaching) forelimb received ischemic bilateral sensorimotor cortex lesions, or unilateral lesions, with or without callosal transections.
