Pancreatic function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1970 No abnormality of exocrine function of the pancreas was found in 10 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Eight patients showed abnormal glucose metabolism, attributed to the effects of age, malnutrition, diminished physical activity, and decreased muscle mass.

The Challenge of Defining Laterality in Horses: Is It Laterality or Just Asymmetry?
AnimalsThe defining characteristic of laterality is the dominance of one side of the brain controlling specific functions of paired organs or on one side of the body.

Change in Functional Connectivity in Tinnitus and its Relation with Tinnitus Laterality
대한영상의학회지, 2016 Purpose To identify potential differences in resting-state networks according to laterality of tinnitus using resting-state functional MRI (fMRI). Materials and Methods A total of 83 age-matched subjects consisting of 19 patients with right-sided ...

Posture flexibility and grip strength in horse riders [PDF]
, 2014 Since the ability to train the horse to be ambidextrous is considered highly desirable, rider asymmetry is recognized as a negative trait. Acquired postural and functional asymmetry can originate from numerous anatomical regions, so it is difficult to ...

Laterality in Children: Evidence for Task-Dependent Lateralization of Motor Functions [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020 The behavioral preference for the use of one side of the body starts from pre-natal life and prompt humans to develop motor asymmetries. The type of motor task completed influences those functional asymmetries. However, there is no real consensus on the occurrence of handedness during developmental ages.

Laterality of Eye Use by Bottlenose (Tursiops truncatus) and Rough-toothed (Steno bredanensis) Dolphins While Viewing Predictable and Unpredictable Stimuli [PDF]
, 2020 Laterality of eye use has been increasingly studied in cetaceans. Research supports that many cetacean species keep prey on the right side while feeding and preferentially view unfamiliar objects with the right eye.

Observation of tumour-induced reorganization in structural and functional architecture of the brain in three pre-surgical patients with left frontal-temporal brain tumour: a combination of MEG, DTI and neuropsychological assessment [PDF]
, 2017 Visual function is mainly located within the bilateral hemisphere of the occipital lobes of the brain. However, our functional magnetoencephalography (MEG) result has demonstrated the reorganization of brain activity in the occipital area in patients ...
