Despite several decades of research, the epigenesis of behavioural and brain lateralization
is still elusive, although its knowledge is important in understanding developmental …

No longer viewed as a characteristic unique to humans, brain lateralization is considered a
key property of most, if not all, vertebrates. This field of study provides a firm basis from …

Little is understood about the genetic or epigenetic mechanisms that underlie brain
asymmetry. Because higher cognitive functions such as language, constructional and spatial …

The mechanisms that establish behavioral, cognitive, and neuroanatomical asymmetries are
poorly understood. In this study, we analyze the events that regulate development of …

Brain lateralization is commonly interpreted as crucial for human brain function and
cognition. However, as comparative studies among primates are rare, it is not known which …

The pervasive nature of handedness across human history and cultures is a salient
consequence of brain lateralization. This paper presents evidence that provides a structure …

The longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two hemispheres that remain
connected through the corpus callosum. The left and the right halves of the brain resemble …

In the human brain, distinct functions tend to be localized in the left or right hemispheres,
with language ability usually localized predominantly in the left and spatial recognition in the …

TREVARTHEN, C., Lateral asymmetries in infancy: implications for the development of the
hemispheres. NEUROSCI BIOBEHAV REV 20 (4) 571–586, 1996.—Cerebral asymmetry of …

The human cerebral cortex is symmetrically organized along large-scale axes but also
presents inter-hemispheric differences in structure and function. The quantified contralateral …
