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 …

Why has diffusion MRI become a principal modality for mapping connectomes in vivo? How
do different image acquisition parameters, fiber tracking algorithms and other …

Brain networks or 'connectomes' include a minority of highly connected hub nodes that are
functionally valuable, because their topological centrality supports integrative processing …

Tractography based on diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is widely used for mapping the
structural connections of the human brain. Its accuracy is known to be limited by technical …

During early development, every human being is exposed to the relative impact of relational
trauma–disconfirmation of aspects of oneself as having legitimate existence in the world of …

Lateralized brain regions subserve functions such as language and visuospatial processing.
It has been conjectured that individuals may be left-brain dominant or right-brain dominant …

In this article we review recent research on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of white matter
(WM) integrity and the implications for age-related differences in cognition. Neurobiological …

Background Atlases of brain anatomical ROIs are widely used for functional MRI data
analysis. Recently, it was proposed that an atlas of ROIs derived from a functional brain …

Long-standing speculations and more recent hypotheses propose a variety of possible
evolutionary connections between language, gesture and tool use. These arguments have …

Hemispheric specialization (HS) is a hemisphere-dependent relationship between a
cognitive, sensory, or motor function and a set of brain structures. It includes both the hosting …
