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 …

The mammalian proprotein convertases constitute a family of nine secretory serine
proteases that are related to bacterial subtilisin and yeast kexin. Seven of these (proprotein …

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 …

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

Background Most children learn language effortlessly, but a minority struggle to master their
native tongue for no obvious reason. This is known as specific language impairment …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

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 …

Hemispheric specialization (HS) is a hemisphere-dependent relationship between a
cognitive, sensory, or motor function and a set of brain structures. It includes both the hosting …
