The intracarotid amobarbital (or Amytal) procedure is commonly
referred to as the Wada test in tribute to Juhn Wada, the physician
who devised the technique and performed the fIrst basic animal
research and clinical studies with this method. Wada testing has
become an integral part of the pre operative evaluation for
epilepsy surgery. Interestingly, however, Wada initially developed
this method as a technique to assess language dominance in
psychiatric patients in order that electroconvulsant therapy could
be applied unilaterally to the non-dominant hemisphere. Epilepsy
surgery has matured as a viable treatment for intractable seizures
and is no longer confmed to a few major universities and medical
institutes. Yet, as is increasingly clear by examining the surveys
of approaches used by epilepsy surgery centers (e.g., Rausch, 1987;
Snyder, Novelly, & Harris, 1990), there is not only great
heterogeneity in the methods used during Wada testing to assess
language and memory functions, but there also seems to be a lack of
consensus regarding the theoretical assumptions, and perhaps, even
the goals of this procedure.
