Lateralized Differences in Olfactory Function

The Laryngoscope, 2007
AbstractBackground: Birhinal testing of odor identification will not allow the detection of unilateral olfactory loss. The aim of the presented study was to evaluate side differences of odor identification in large groups of healthy subjects and in patients with nasal symptoms.Participants and Method: Self‐assessment of olfactory function and ...

Sensitivity to Laterality as a Function of Handedness

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
This study tested the hypothesis that left-handed individuals are more aware than right-handed individuals of others' handedness. 18 left-handed and 18 right-handed college students were shown a drawing of 8 children at a party. Seven children held objects in the left hand, while one held an object in the right hand. After 2 ½ min.

Lateralization of function in rats

American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1983
Research findings during the past several years have shown that the rat's brain is lateralized for a number of behavioral functions. Neurochemical and anatomical asymmetries have also been found and, in some instances, have been associated with the behavioral asymmetries. It has also been found that extra stimulation in early life can enhance existing

Hypnosis and Lateralized Brain Functions

International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, 1990
Bilateral EEG measures were obtained on 16 high hypnotizable Ss (scores of greater than 8 on the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A, Shor & E. Orne, 1962), while performing hemisphere-specific tasks during hypnosis and a no-hypnosis control condition.

Lateralization of Functions in the Animal Brain

International Journal of Neuroscience, 1981
The study was performed on mice, rats, and cats. The techniques used were those of conditional reflexes and evoked potentials. The results obtained give proof of the existence of hemisphere specialization of the brain in animals, and some of its properties are described. Motor control is shown to be mainly connected with the left hemisphere.

Cerebral lateralization of function and bilingual decision processes: Is thinking lateralized?

Brain and Language, 1978
Abstract Four experiments utilizing tachistoscopic presentation of verbal and spatial stimuli to visual half-fields are presented. Three experiments failed to find any cerebral lateralization effect of the type predicted from existing models of cerebral lateralization processes. One experiment found marked lateralization effects.

Function of lateral line canal morphology

Integrative Zoology, 2015
AbstractFish perceive water motions and pressure gradients with their lateral line. Lateral line information is used for prey detection, spatial orientation, predator avoidance, schooling behavior, intraspecific communication and station holding. The lateral line of most fishes consists of superficial neuromasts (SNs) and canal neuromasts (CNs).

Assessing Functional Laterality

1988
A considerable amount of research evidence suggests that the cerebral hemispheres of the human brain serve independent cognitive functions. Neuropsychological assessments rely upon this concept in making inferences concerning the integrity of the brain.

Cognitive Functioning as a Predictor of Functional Disability in Later Life

The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 2006
The contribution of cognitive functioning on multiple levels of functional disability and mortality over two years as well as individual activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) tasks, in a sample of older U.S. adults was examined.A total of 4,077 U.S.

Respiratory function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Neurological Sciences, 2003
The aim of this study was to examine the vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1) in relation to the site of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) onset and the duration of the disease. Respiratory involvement is the principal cause of death in ALS patients. The study was conducted at the Department of Neurology, University School
