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 …

Handedness is the single most studied aspect of human brain asymmetries. For long it has
been thought to be a monogenic trait that can produce an asymmetrical shift of cerebral …

Handedness and cerebral asymmetry are commonly assumed to be uniquely human, and
even defining characteristics of our species. This is increasingly refuted by the evidence of …

The left and right sides of the human brain are specialized for different kinds of information
processing, and much of our cognition is lateralized to an extent toward one side or the …

Handedness and brain asymmetry have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders such
as dyslexia and schizophrenia. The genetic nature of this correlation is not understood …

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

I argue that the phylogenetic and neurobiological bases for cerebral asymmetry in humans
are likely to be found in motor systems rather than in perceptual systems. Current genetic …

Most people are right‐handed and left‐cerebrally dominant for language. This pattern of
asymmetry, as well as departures from it, have been reasonably accommodated in terms of …

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

Roughly 10% of the human population is left-handed, and this rate is increased in some
brain-related disorders. The neuroanatomical correlates of hand preference have remained …
