The human brain exhibits systematic left–right differences in anatomy and function, a phenomenon known as cerebral asymmetry. Hemispheric lateralization refers to the tendency for certain cognitive ...

Human language is dominantly processed in the left cerebral hemisphere in most of the population. While several studies have suggested that there are higher rates of atypical right-hemispheric ...

A study by the HSE Centre for Language and Brain has confirmed the role of the corpus callosum in language lateralization, 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 ...

In 1865, French physician Paul Broca noted that among patients with brain damage, only those with the left frontal lobe affected had speech difficulties. This is the first time that functional ...

People are thought to be left- or right-brained, depending on their personality. While that assumption is based on some ...
