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 …

Brain asymmetry has been observed in animals and humans in terms of structure, function
and behaviour. This lateralization is thought to reflect evolutionary, hereditary …

Purpose A fundamental feature in interpreting gross or neuroimaging brain anatomy is
reliance on an assumed high degree of morphologic symmetry in bilateral hemispheres …

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

The pioneer works of Marc Dax and Paul Broca on the association between left hemisphere
injuries and speech impairments, revealed one of the most intriguing properties of the brain …

Cerebral Lateralization in Nonhuman Species explores brain asymmetries in animals and
the extent to which such asymmetries relate, in an evolutionary and clinical sense, to the …

The human brain is often characterized in terms of a duality, with the left and right brains
serving complementary functions, and even individuals are sometimes classified as either …

Recent large-scale neuroimaging studies suggest that most parts of the human brain show
structural differences between the left and the right hemisphere. Such structural hemispheric …

The two hemispheres of the human brain differ functionally and structurally. Despite over a
century of research, the extent to which brain asymmetry is influenced by sex, handedness …

The use of computational approaches in the analysis of highresolution magnetic resonance
images (MRI) of the human brain provides a powerful tool for in vivo studies of brain …
