Comparative studies on brain asymmetry date back to the 19th century but then largely
disappeared due to the assumption that lateralization is uniquely human. Since the …

Across time and place, right hand preference has been the norm, but what is the precise
prevalence of left-and right-handedness? Frequency of left-handedness has shaped and …

Handedness and brain asymmetry are widely regarded as unique to humans, and
associated with complementary functions such as a left-brain specialization for language …

The brains of humans and other animals are asymmetrically organized, but we still know
little about the ontogenetic and neural fundaments of lateralizations. Here, we review the …

Left-handers are often excluded from study cohorts in neuroscience and neurogenetics in
order to reduce variance in the data. However, recent investigations have shown that the …

Hemispheric asymmetries are a major organizational principle of the human brain. In
different neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, like schizophrenia, autism spectrum …

Lateralization is a fundamental principle of nervous system organization but its molecular
determinants are mostly unknown. In humans, asymmetric gene expression in the fetal …

Dominance of the left hemisphere for many aspects of speech production and perception is
one of the best known examples of functional hemispheric asymmetries in the human brain …

Handedness and brain asymmetry have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such
as dyslexia and schizophrenia. The genetic nature of this correlation is not understood …

Humans display structural and functional asymmetries in brain organization, strikingly with
respect to language and handedness. The molecular basis of these asymmetries is …
