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 …

Handedness is the clearest example of behavioral lateralization in humans. It is not known
whether the obvious asymmetry manifested by hand preference is associated with similar …

A large repertoire of natural object manipulation tasks require precisely coupled symmetrical
opposing forces by both hands on a single object. We asked how the lateralized brain …

Motor lateralization in humans has primarily been characterized as “handedness”, resulting
in the view that one arm-hemisphere system is specialized for all aspects of movement while …

A review of the research on anatomical and functional asymmetries in human primary motor
cortex suggests that the area of hand representation is greater in the dominant than 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 …

Abstract handedness has proved to be a complex and multifaceted manifestation of lateral
preferences that has so far resisted any unified explanation/in particular, a general theory 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 …

Behavioural and neurophysiological evidence convincingly establish that the left
hemisphere is dominant for motor skills that are carried out with either hand or those that …

Lateralization of mechanisms mediating functions such as language and perception is
widely accepted as a fundamental feature of neural organization. Recent research has …
