Changing handedness after nerve reconstruction in brachial plexus birth palsy

Frontiers in Neurology
PurposeRight obstetric brachial plexus injuries (OBPI) often lead to left-handedness before limb function is restored post-surgery. A pertinent question arises about promoting a transition from left to right-handedness.

Etiological aspect of left-handedness in adolescents [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2013
Introduction. Lateralization of brain functions such as language and manual dominance (hand preferences and fine motor control) are most likely under genetic control.

Handedness and Intelligence

Cortex, 1978
The scores of 37 right and 30 left-handed subjects on tests of fluid and crystallized intelligence were compared. Consistent with the hypothesis, it was found that the left-handers were inferior to the right-handers on the Gf task. These data are consistent with those from three earlier studies and serve to question the assertion that there are no ...

Aetiological factors in left-handedness [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2005
Lateralisation associates the extremities and senses of one side of the body, which are connected by afferent and efferent pathways, with the primary motor and sensory areas of the hemisphere on the opposite side.

Human handedness: an inherited evolutionary trait [PDF]

, 2013
Our objective was to demonstrate that human population-level, right-handedness, is not species specific, precipitated from language areas in the brain, but rather is context specific and inherited from a behavior common to both humans and great apes.

Kin selection as a modulator of human handedness: sex-specific, parental and parent-of-origin effects

Evolutionary Human Sciences
The frequency of left-handedness in humans is ~10% worldwide and slightly higher in males than females. Twin and family studies estimate the heritability of human handedness at around 25%.

The Functional Genetics of Handedness and Language Lateralization: Insights from Gene Ontology, Pathway and Disease Association Analyses

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Handedness and language lateralization are partially determined by genetic influences. It has been estimated that at least 40 (and potentially more) possibly interacting genes may influence the ontogenesis of hemispheric asymmetries.

Brain handedness associations depend on how and when handedness is measured

Scientific Reports
Hand preference is ubiquitous, intuitive, and often simplified to right- or left-handed. Accordingly, differences between right- and left-handed individuals in the brain have been established. Nevertheless, considering handedness as a binarized construct

Representation of Sickle Cell Disease Patients in Pediatric and Adult Care: What We Discovered Using Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) Data

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transitioning from pediatric to adult care is a high‐risk period for individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD). An initial observation at one academic medical center suggested a sex‐based disparity in clinic populations, prompting a national investigation.
