Across time and place, right hand preference has been the norm, but what is the precise
prevalence of left-and right-handedness? Frequency of left-handedness has shaped and …

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 …

Handedness and brain asymmetry are widely regarded as unique to humans, and
associated with complementary functions such as a left-brain specialization for language …

Background Most children learn language effortlessly, but a minority struggle to master their
native tongue for no obvious reason. This is known as specific language impairment …

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 …

No two human brains are alike, and with the rise of precision medicine in neurology, we are
seeing an increased emphasis on understanding the individual variability in brain structure …

Left-handers are often excluded from study cohorts in neuroscience and neurogenetics in
order to reduce variance in the data. However, recent investigations have shown that the …

Hand preference is a conspicuous variation in human behaviour, with a worldwide
proportion of around 90% of people preferring to use the right hand for many tasks, and 10 …

Knowing whether an individual prefers the left or right hand for skilled activities is important
to researchers in experimental psychology and neuroscience. The current study reports on a …

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 …
