The origins of cerebral lateralization in humans are traced to the asymmetric prenatal
development of the ear and labyrinth. Aural lateralization is hypothesized to result from an …

Observations made upon clinical populations during the last century have largely been
responsible for supplanting the traditional view that the human cerebral hemispheres are …

NE INCIDENT DURING my years as a PhD student changed my views on Oacademic
research considerably: I was drafting a joint paper with my supervisor, Lesley Milroy, and in …

Laterality: Functional Asymmetry in the Intact Brain focuses on brain function and laterality
as well as the various methods in assessing behavioral asymmetries, including …

SYNOPSIS A simple two-allele Mendelian model of the genetics of handedness is described
and fitted to data in the literature. The model proposes that there are two alleles, D (dextral) …

This book offers a comprehensive and readable account of theoretical aspects of the origins
and normal development of handedness and its relationship to cerebral lateralization. It …

Most dichotic listening experiments permit subjects to deploy attention in any way they
choose. We argue that this adds uncontrolled variance to the observed right-ear advantage …

An anatomical and behavioral review of 29 reported cases of corpus callosum agenesis is
presented. This review addresses itself to two questions:(1) Do acallosals manifest split …

Dichotic listening originally was a means of studying attention. Half a century ago Doreen
Kimura parlayed the dichotic method into a noninvasive indicator of lateralized cerebral …

Speech and language-related functions tend to depend on the left hemisphere more than
the right in most right-handed (dextral) participants. This relationship is less clear in non …
