On the Magnitude of Laterality Effects and Sex Differences in Functional Lateralities

Laterality, 1996
In the last 20 years, the hypothesis that men and women differ in functional lateralities has been used to account for sex-related differences in verbal and spatial skills. However, this hypothesis has not been clearly supported, with some reviewers confirming it (McGlone, 1980 for example), and others rejecting it (Fairweather, 1982 for example).

Lateralization of Psychological Function

1981
Each side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. This holds true for sensory and motor function, with a few minor exceptions. The first portion of this chapter reviews thalamocortical input and corticoreticular output with the maximum brevity compatible with understanding.

Behavior Disorders and Laterality of Cerebral Function

International Journal of Neuroscience, 1985
A dichotic listening test was employed to test the hypothesis that behavior disorders might have an abnormal laterality patterns of cerebral function. Eighteen behavior disorder out-patients of the psychiatry department at an university hospital and seventeen normal subjects were requested to recall dichotically presented words. The results showed that

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).

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.

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

Lateral brain function, emotion, and conceptualization.

Psychological Bulletin, 1981
Reviews research on brain damage, psychiatric disorders, and normal emotion, which has shown the importance of the right hemisphere's holistic and nonverbal conceptualization to emotion. Studies of hemispheric asymmetries in psychiatric patients have suggested the importance of specific and apparently lateralized arousal systems in the brain that ...

Onset of neural function in the lateral line

Nature, 1979
The development of the nervous system includes the formation of specific neuronal connections. Some insight into the mechanisms by which these connections are made may be obtained by determining the order in which the elements of a developing system begin to function and examining any changes that may occur in the system shortly after it begins ...

Lateralization of functions in the vertebrate brain: A review

British Journal of Psychology, 1980
That the human left and right cerebral hemispheres perform different functions is widely accepted; but there is little evidence of whether or not similar functional asymmetries exist in non‐human vertebrates. In this paper, neuro‐anatomical similarities between human and other vertebrate brains are considered, and data concerning physical asymmetries ...
