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 …

Hemispheric asymmetry is a cardinal feature of human brain organization. Altered brain
asymmetry has also been linked to some cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, the …

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

Left–right asymmetry of the human brain is one of its cardinal features, and also a complex,
multivariate trait. Decades of research have suggested that brain asymmetry may be altered …

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 …

Right–left regional cerebral differences are a feature of the human brain linked to functional
abilities, aging, and neurodevelopmental and mental disorders. The role of genetic factors in …

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 …

Previous research studies have reported many hemispherical asymmetries in cortical and
subcortical anatomy, but only a subset of findings is consistent across studies. Here, we …

Only a small number of studies have assessed structural differences between the two
hemispheres during childhood and adolescence. However, the existing findings lack …

Hemispheric asymmetry is commonly viewed as a dual system, unique to humans, with the
two sides of the human brain in complementary roles. To the contrary, modern research …
