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 …

Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a learning disorder affecting the ability to read, with a
heritability of 40–60%. A notable part of this heritability remains unexplained, and large …

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 late 19th neurological concept of dyslexia had 3 crucial elements: selectively poor
reading, with unaffected other cognitive skills and a genetic background. The contemporary …

(1) Background: Asymmetry is ubiquitous in nature and humans have well-established
bilateral asymmetries in their structures and functions. However, there are (mostly …

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 …

Ninety per cent of the human population has been right-handed since the Paleolithic, yet the
brain signature and genetic basis of handedness remain poorly characterized. Here, we …

Although the left and right hemispheres of our brains develop with a high degree of
symmetry at both the anatomical and functional levels, it has become clear that subtle …
