Lateralization in the Nervous System reviews various aspects of lateralization in the nervous
system, with emphasis on approaches such as the investigation of turning tendencies and …

Cerebral lateralization is a fundamental property of the human brain and a marker of
successful development. Here we provide evidence that multiple mechanisms control …

The neural architecture of the corpus callosum shows pronounced inter-individual
differences. These differences are thought to affect timing of interhemispheric interactions …

Cerebral Lateralization and Cognition: Evolutionary and Developmental Investigations of
Motor Biases, Volume 238, the latest release in the Progress in Brain Research series …

The discovery of functional lateralization and localization of the brain marked the beginning
of a new era in neuroscience. While the past 150 years of research have provided a great …

Humans are mainly right-handed for many actions including gestures. This bias is strongly
linked to a left cerebral hemispheric dominance for language functions. Whether similar …

The development and persistence of laterality is a key feature of human motor behavior, with
the asymmetry of hand use being the most prominent. The idea that asymmetrical functions …

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 …

Left–right asymmetries have likely evolved to make optimal use of bilaterian nervous
systems; however, little is known about the synaptic and circuit mechanisms that support …

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 …
