Behavioral lateralization, the preferential use of one side of the body and its corresponding brain hemisphere, is a pervasive aspect of vertebrate neurobiology. This phenomenon, which manifests in ...

Lateralization of the brain – the tendency for the left and right hemispheres to specialize in different functions – underlies the development of a left-to-right mental number line, according to a ...

Approximately 10% of the human population is left-handed. Among them, one in five exhibits a peculiar brain phenomenon known as atypical language lateralization. While most people attribute their ...

A study by the HSE Centre for Language and Brain has confirmed the role of the corpus callosum in language lateralization, ie the distribution of language processing functions between the brain's ...

Lateralization of the brain—the tendency for the left and right hemispheres to specialize in different functions—underlies the development of a left-to-right mental number line, according to a study ...

For most neurologically healthy adults, language processing is considered a "left brain" function that relies on undamaged neural matter in the left cerebral hemisphere's Broca's area. However, for ...

Brain imprints on cranial bones from great apes and humans refute the long-held notion that the human pattern of brain asymmetry is unique, according to new research. The left and right side of the ...

There’s a popular idea that our brains have two sides with two roles. The left side of the brain is analytical and concerned with facts and figures, whereas the right side of the brain is creative, ...

The term “handedness” refers to the tendency to use one hand over the other, such as left-handedness or right-handedness. It’s also known as hand preference. So, if you naturally use your right hand ...
