Hemispheric Laterality and Cognitive Style
… of "cognitive style." A large battery of laterality preference, cognitive style, verbal and nonverbal ability, and selected additional tests was administered to 97 (52 female, 45 male) right-handed undergraduate volunteers, with subsequent analysis of relationships among the measures by …

Manual laterality in hearing impaired and hearing children
This study was designed to investigate the differences in hand preference and skilled hand movement between hearing impaired and non-hearing impaired children. The subjects were 78 hearing impaired (44 males, 34 females) and 68 normal hearing children (24 males, 44 females). Hand preference was …

An fMRI study of object recognition and cerebral laterality
… multivariate results are more consistent with laterality effects in behavior as measured in divided field experiments. Such results are important because they highlight a fundamental discrepancy in the hemifield-hemisphere relationship between visual object recognition behavior and fMRI …

Neuronal Laterality in Caenorhabditis elegans: Morphological and Functional Aspects
The ASE neurons of C. elegans are an excellent model to study neuronal asymmetry. Lateralization with respect to their genetic fate and function has been well studied, but their more subtle asymmetries have not. This work describes three such asymmetries: that of amino acid gustation, associative …

BMP Signaling through BMPR1A is Required for Establishment of Pancreatic Laterality
… defects in SMP formation and pancreatic laterality. Bmpr1a knockout results in reduced SMP expression of Bapx1, a gene required for SMP formation and lateral growth of the pancreas. Therefore, defects in lateral growth of the pancreas in Bmpr1a mutants are likely mediated by Bapx1 and, …

Cerebral Laterality, Emotion, and Cardiopulmonary Functions: An Investigation of Left and Right CVA Patients
Stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is a prominent cause of long term disability in the United States. It has been evidenced that the outcome of a CVA patient differs as a function of the cerebral hemisphere that is damaged by the stroke, especially in terms of emotional changes. The Right …

The Dynamic Cerebral Laterality Effect: Group Differences in Hostility, Cardiovascular Regulation, and Sensory Recognition
This experiment tested two hypotheses linking the right cerebral regulation of hostility and cardiovascular arousal. First, replication of previous research supporting heightened cardiovascular (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate) reactivity among high hostile …

On the insufficiency of laterality-based accounts of face perception and corresponding visual field asymmetries
… right FFA underlies the relationship between FFA laterality and the LVF half-face advantage. This revealed an explicit neural mechanism to describe the commonly assumed basis of the LVF advantage for centrally-viewed faces. In our next set of experiments (behavioral) we addressed the second aim, …

Cardiovascular Reactivity to Speech Processing and Cold Pressor Stress: Evidence for Sex Differences in Dynamic Functional Cerebral Laterality
… sex differences in dynamic functional cerebral laterality effects on cardiovascular reactivity and dichotic listening in response to a stressor (a cold pressor). 120 right-handed undergraduate men (N = 60) and women (N = 60) underwent physiological measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP), …

Reactivity and Recovery of Physiological and Neuropsychological Variables as a Function of Hostility
… physiological arousal and shift in cerebral laterality longer than the low-hostile comparison group. Low- and high-hostile participants (25 males per group, drawn from the undergraduate Psychology pool) were identified using the Cook-Medley Hostility Scale (CMHS). Physiological measures (SBP, …

Resting-state and task functional magnetic resonance imaging correlates of early language development in temporal and frontal lobe
… functional neuroimaging to evaluate the changing laterality of the language network, focused on two nodes. Those two nodes are the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), which is implicated in syntactic processing, and middle temporal gyrus (MTG), which is implicated in semantic processing, with the goal …
