Musician Conserved Absolute Pitch Ability Despite a Right Parietal Subcortical Hemorrhage

Absolute pitch (AP) can identify and designate the pitch chroma of a particular tone without using any external references. Unknown neurological mechanisms underlie it. We report the case of a 53-year-old AP musician who developed a right parietal hemorrhage but conserved AP ability. Our case had a...

Sumario:Absolute pitch (AP) can identify and designate the pitch chroma of a particular tone without using any external references. Unknown neurological mechanisms underlie it. We report the case of a 53-year-old AP musician who developed a right parietal hemorrhage but conserved AP ability. Our case had a lesion in the right parietal lobe that did not affect her AP ability. Our case further supports the hypothesis that the left cerebral hemisphere is important for AP ability.
