One characteristic that might be expected to relate to brain asymmetry is hand preference, that is, which hand a person prefers for most everyday activities, including writing. Over 90 per cent of people are right-handed.

Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brain asymmetry can refer to at least two quite distinct findings: • Neuroanatomical differences between the left and right sides of the brain • Lateralized functional differences: Lateralization of ...

Is there genetic control of both brain asymmetry and handedness? Using molecular and neurological approaches, we are beginning to tackle these questions and discover the neurological circuitries that regulate brain asymmetry.

A tug-of-war between the two sides of the brain causes it to become asymmetrical, according to research published in the journal Neuron. Asymmetry in the brain is thought to be important to enable the two hemispheres to specialize and operate more efficiently. ... By studying brain development in zebrafish,

Many a myth has grown up around the brain's asymmetry. The left cerebral hemisphere is supposed to be the coldly logical, verbal and dominant half of the brain, while the right developed a reputation as the imaginative side, emotional, spatially aware but suppressed.

OBJECTIVE: Anomalous cerebral asymmetry in schizophreniform disorders has been described, but its presence in psychotic mood disorders has not been established. Measures of cerebral asymmetry may distinguish patients with psychotic mood disorders from those with nonpsychotic mood disorders and from comparison subjects.

Many assumed that the asymmetry-producing genes, when found, would be more highly expressed on the left side of the brain than the right. Sun Tao, Christopher A. Walsh, and their colleagues compared the expression of genes in the left and right perisylvian cortices at critical moments of human embryonic development.
