Hemispheric signs.
According to a study published in Nature (Vol. 322, No. 6077), a fully intact right-brain hemisphere is not essential to using American Sign Language (ASL).

Physicians who performed brain surgery on an ASL interpreter discovered that temporarily interrupting the functioning of her left hemisphere with a barbiturate created serious problems with her ability to speak English and use ASL.
