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 …

Reading and writing are crucial life skills but roughly one in ten children are affected by
dyslexia, which can persist into adulthood. Family studies of dyslexia suggest heritability up …

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 …

The lateralization of the human brain may provide clues into the pathogenesis and
progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Though differing in their presentation and …

Hemispheric asymmetries are a major organizational principle of the human brain. In
different neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, like schizophrenia, autism spectrum …

Dominance of the left hemisphere for many aspects of speech production and perception is
one of the best known examples of functional hemispheric asymmetries in the human brain …

The current “autism spectrum” DSM 5 diagnostic criteria and autism standardized diagnostic
instruments promote considerable heterogeneity or clinical indecision and may be …

Asymmetry characterizes the brain in both structure and function. Anatomical asymmetries
explain only a fraction of functional variability in lateralization, with structural and functional …
