There is considerable debate about whether population-level asymmetries in limb
preferences are uniquely human or are a common feature among vertebrates. In the present …

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 …

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

Hemispheric asymmetries play an important role in almost all cognitive functions. For more
than a century, they were considered to be uniquely human but now an increasing number …

Response inhibition processes are important for goal-directed behavior and particularly
demanded when it is unlikely to inhibit automatically executed responses. It has been …

Functional hemispheric asymmetries can vary over time and steroid hormones have been
shown to be one of the factors that can modulate them. Research into this matter has mainly …

Background Various lines of research suggest that the stability of neural processes is low in
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Considering overarching neural principles …

Response inhibition processes are important for performance monitoring and are mediated
via a network constituted by different cortical areas and basal ganglia nuclei. At the basal …

Response inhibition processes are one of the most important executive control functions and
have been subject to intense research in cognitive neuroscience. However, knowledge on …

Goal-directed behavior often requires the inhibition of prepotent automatic responses.
Response inhibition encompasses several top-down cognitive operations embedded in a …
