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 …

Autism is a heterogeneous syndrome defined by impairments in three core domains: social
interaction, language and range of interests. Recent work has led to the identification of …

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

Handedness has been extensively studied because of its relationship with language and the
over-representation of left-handers in some neurodevelopmental disorders. Using data from …

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 …

Human Evolutionary Genetics is a groundbreaking text which for the first time brings
together molecular genetics and genomics to the study of the origins and movements of …

Faithful transmission of genetic material to daughter cells involves a characteristic temporal
order of DNA replication, which may play a significant role in the inheritance of epigenetic …

Studies of the major psychoses, schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD), have
traditionally focused on genetic and environmental risk factors, although more recent work …

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 …

Autistic-spectrum conditions and psychotic-spectrum conditions (mainly schizophrenia,
bipolar disorder, and major depression) represent two major suites of disorders of human …
