Why sex hormones matter for neuroscience: A very short review on sex, sex hormones, and functional brain asymmetries

M Hausmann - Journal of neuroscience research, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Biological sex and sex hormones are known to affect functional cerebral asymmetries
(FCAs). Men are generally more lateralized than women. The effect size of this sex …

The analysis of speech in different temporal integration windows: cerebral lateralization as 'asymmetric sampling in time'

D Poeppel - Speech communication, 2003 - Elsevier
The 'asymmetric sampling in time'(AST) hypothesis developed here provides a framework
for understanding a range of psychophysical and neuropsychological data on speech …

HBM Uylings, AM Jacobsen, K Zilles, K Amunts - Cortex, 2006 - Elsevier
Total neuron number in, and volume of, Brodmann areas (BA) 44 and 45 (Broca's area)
were studied in Nissl-stained sections from the left and right hemispheres of five adult men …

Perceptual aberrations impair mental own-body transformations.

C Mohr, O Blanke, P Brugger - Behavioral neuroscience, 2006 - psycnet.apa.org
Dysfunctional self and bodily processing have been reported from the schizophrenia
spectrum. Here, the authors tested 72 students (40 women) to determine whether …

Brain state-dependent functional hemispheric specialization in men but not in women

C Mohr, CM Michel, G Lantz, S Ortigue… - Cerebral …, 2005 - academic.oup.com
Hemispheric specialization is reliably demonstrated in patients with unilateral lesions or
disconnected hemispheres, but is inconsistent in healthy populations. The reason for this …

Gender differences in functional hemispheric asymmetry during processing of vowels as reflected by the human brain magnetic response

J Obleser, C Eulitz, A Lahiri, T Elbert - Neuroscience letters, 2001 - Elsevier
A number of findings indicate gender differences in language-related functional hemispheric
brain asymmetry. To test if such gender-specific laterality is already present at the level of …

Sex hormonal effects on hemispheric asymmetry and interhemispheric interaction

M Hausmann, U Bayer - 2010 - direct.mit.edu
People differ in their pattern of hemispheric asymmetry and in the way in which the two
hemispheres interact. This phenomenon had been neglected for a long time. The current …

No postnatal doubling of number of neurons in human Broca's areas (Brodmann areas 44 and 45)? A stereological study

HBM Uylings, LI Malofeeva, IN Bogolepova… - Neuroscience, 2005 - Elsevier
In this study we explored whether a postnatal doubling of the total number of neurons occurs
in the human Brodmann areas 44 and 45 (Broca's area). We describe the most recent error …

Smoking reduces language lateralization: a dichotic listening study with control participants and schizophrenia patients

C Hahn, AH Neuhaus, S Pogun, M Dettling, SA Kotz… - Brain and Cognition, 2011 - Elsevier
Schizophrenia has been associated with deficits in functional brain lateralization. According
to some authors, the reduction of asymmetry could even promote this psychosis. At the same …
