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 has been extensively studied because of its relationship with language and the
over-representation of left-handers in some neurodevelopmental disorders. Using data from …

The second edition of The Lateralized Brain provides for readers a volume detailing the
functional and structural differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain …

Left–right hemispheric asymmetry is an important aspect of healthy brain organization for
many functions including language, and it can be altered in cognitive and psychiatric …

Left–right asymmetry of the human brain is one of its cardinal features, and also a complex,
multivariate trait. Decades of research have suggested that brain asymmetry may be altered …

Hand preference is a conspicuous variation in human behaviour, with a worldwide
proportion of around 90% of people preferring to use the right hand for many tasks, and 10 …

Why do the left and right sides of the brain have different functions? Having a lateralized
brain, in which each hemisphere processes sensory inputs differently and carries out …

Only a small number of studies have assessed structural differences between the two
hemispheres during childhood and adolescence. However, the existing findings lack …

Hemispheric asymmetries represent one of the major organizational principles in vertebrate
neurobiology, but their molecular determinants are not well understood. For handedness …
