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 …

The brains of humans and other animals are asymmetrically organized, but we still know
little about the ontogenetic and neural fundaments of lateralizations. Here, we review the …

The second edition of The Lateralized Brain provides for readers a volume detailing the
functional and structural differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain …

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 amygdala is a core structure in the neuronal network underlying emotion processing in
the vertebrate brain. Its structure and function have been extensively studied in both …

Aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are associated with progressive brain disorganization.
Although structural asymmetry is an organizing feature of the cerebral cortex it is unknown …

The corpus callosum serves the functional integration and interaction between the two
hemispheres. Many studies investigate callosal microstructure via diffusion tensor imaging …

The human brain demonstrates structural and functional asymmetries which have
implications for ageing and mental and neurological disease development. We used a set of …

Asymmetry characterizes the brain in both structure and function. Anatomical asymmetries
explain only a fraction of functional variability in lateralization, with structural and functional …

The left hemispheric advantage in speech perception is reflected in faster
neurophysiological processing. On the basis of postmortem data, it has been suggested that …
