Wada test
intracarotid sodium amobarbital procedure , ISAP (skrót)

Studies using the Wada test and others are cited.

The Wada test has several interesting side-effects.

Jones (1966) carried out the Wada test with four patients who had stuttered from childhood, and found all four to have bilateral speech representation.

The Wada test, where sodium amobarbital is used to anaesthetise one hemisphere, shows that the left-hemisphere appears to be crucial in language processing.

The Wada Test introduces an anesthetic to one hemisphere of the brain via one of the two carotid arteries.

The Wada test is named after Canadian neurologist Juhn Atsushi Wada, of the University of British Columbia.

He added that the U.C.L.A. laboratory had passed the rigid WADA tests for accreditation and was competent to do the EPO test.

Some epilepsy centers use intracarotid sodium amobarbital test (Wada test), functional MRI or Magnetoencephalography (MEG) as supplementary tests.

Zonisamide and other carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as topiramate, furosemide, and hydrochlorothiazide have been known to interfere with amobarbital, which has led to inadequate anesthetization during the Wada test.

Juhn Atsushi Wada, OC (born 1924, Sapporo) is a Japanese Canadian neurologist known for research into epilepsy, including his description of the Wada test for cerebral hemispheric dominance of language function.

The Wada test, named after Canadian neurologist and epileptologist Juhn Atsushi Wada, also known as the "intracarotid sodium amobarbital procedure" (ISAP), is used to establish cerebral language and memory representation of each hemisphere.

Even allowing for a difference in the extent of lateralisation of executive aspects of speech, revealed by the Wada test, and receptive aspects, tapped by the dichotic listening technique, this figure of IS per cent is too high to accord with the evidence from brain damaged populations.
