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 lateralization of the human brain may provide clues into the pathogenesis and
progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Though differing in their presentation and …

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

In the 2010s, significant progress has been made in several key areas of laterality research,
including neuroimaging, genetics and comparative research. In the present article, we …

Left–right asymmetry is an important organizing feature of the healthy brain that may be
altered in schizophrenia, but most studies have used relatively small samples and …

Background Childhood trauma and affective disorders are known risk factors for adult
suicidal behavior. Studies have shown a mediating effect of insecure attachment on the …

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

Small average differences in the left-right asymmetry of cerebral cortical thickness have
been reported in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared to typically …

The Clinical Neuroscience of Lateralization gives the first comprehensive transdiagnostic
overview of the evidence for changes in hemispheric asymmetries in different psychiatric …

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 …
