Cognitive benefits of right-handedness: a meta-analysis
Hand preference–which is related to cerebral dominance–is thought to be associated with
cognitive skills; however, findings on this association are inconsistent and there is no …

Two distinct forms of functional lateralization in the human brain
The hemispheric lateralization of certain faculties in the human brain has long been held to
be beneficial for functioning. However, quantitative relationships between the degree of …

Tuning the mind: Exploring the connections between musical ability and executive functions
A growing body of research suggests that musical experience and ability are related to a
variety of cognitive abilities, including executive functioning (EF). However, it is not yet clear …

Quantifying cerebral asymmetries for language in dextrals and adextrals with random-effects meta analysis
Speech and language-related functions tend to depend on the left hemisphere more than
the right in most right-handed (dextral) participants. This relationship is less clear in non …

Path ensembles and a tradeoff between communication efficiency and resilience in the human connectome
Computational analysis of communication efficiency of brain networks often relies on graph-
theoretic measures based on the shortest paths between network nodes. Here, we explore a …

Variability in hemispheric functional segregation phenotypes: A review and general mechanistic model
R Gerrits - Neuropsychology Review, 2024 - Springer
Many functions of the human brain are organized asymmetrically and are subject to strong
population biases. Some tasks, like speaking and making complex hand movements, exhibit …
