Abstract
Functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed on a 36-year-old woman with muscular dystrophy, intractable epilepsy, and bilateral temporo-occipital lissencephaly. We observed islands of task-specific activation in lissencephalic cortex homologous to visual association regions activated in normal subjects on the same visual confrontation naming task. This result suggests lissencephalic cortex may develop specific functional connections with other brain regions.
