Lateralizations of brain structure and motor behavior have been observed in humans as
early as the first trimester of gestation, and are likely to arise from asymmetrical genetic …

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 …

Left-right laterality is an important aspect of human–and in fact all vertebrate–brain
organization for which the genetic basis is poorly understood. Using RNA sequencing data …

Lateralization is an important aspect of the functional brain architecture for language and
other cognitive faculties. The molecular genetic basis of human brain lateralization is …

Popular culture, from movies, advertising, to self-help books, is captivated by left-brain/right-
brain differences and how these might influence our personalities, moods, and capabilities …

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

In humans, behavioral laterality and hemispheric asymmetries are part of a complex
biobehavioral system in which genetic factors have been repeatedly proposed as …

Laterality, best understood as asymmetries of bilateral structures or biases in behaviour, has
been demonstrated in species from all major vertebrate classes, and in many invertebrates …

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

In the human brain, the left and right hemispheres are anatomically asymmetric and have
distinctive cognitive function, although the molecular basis for this asymmetry has not yet …
