Within the evolutionary framework about the origin of human handedness and hemispheric
specialization for language, the question of expression of population‐level manual biases in …

Investigating in depth the mechanisms underlying human and non‐human primate
intentional communication systems (involving gestures, vocalisations, facial expressions …

Identifying potentially unique features of the human cerebral cortex is a first step to
understanding how evolution has shaped the brain in our species. By analyzing MR images …

Our goal in this chapter is to provide a concise introduction to the study of left–right
asymmetries in brain and behavior from a comparative perspective. We consider evidence …

This fMRI study investigated the development of language lateralization in left-and
righthanded children between 5 and 18years of age. Twenty-seven left-handed children (17 …

This review synthesizes anatomo-functional variability of language hemispheric
representation and specialization (hemispheric specialization for language, HSL) as well as …

We can learn about the evolution of neocortex in primates through comparative studies of
cortical organization in primates and those mammals that are the closest living relatives of …

Cortical folding mainly takes place in the third trimester of pregnancy and may therefore be
influenced by preterm birth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of …

The planum temporale (PT) is a critical region of the language functional network in the
human brain showing a striking size asymmetry toward the left hemisphere. Historically …

Left-right asymmetry of the human brain is widespread through its anatomy and function.
However, limited microscopic understanding of it exists, particularly for anatomical …
