2018, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Another, different measure of global brain anatomy concerns its global asymmetry. Asymmetries in width and volume of the frontal and occipital poles have been documented in the general population, with the right frontal pole typically being larger than the left, while the opposite applies to the occipital pole (Galaburda et al., 1978; Kertesz et al., 1990; LeMay, 1976; Watkins et al., 2001). Some differences between dyslexic and control individuals have been reported, especially in the occipital pole, found to be either rightward asymmetrical or symmetrical in at least a subsample of the dyslexic population (Duara et al., 1991; Haslam et al., 1981; Hier et al., 1978).
Brain asymmetries and handedness in the specimens from the Sima de los Huesos site (Atapuerca, Spain)
2017, Quaternary InternationalCitation Excerpt :LeMay offers conclusions of some modern CT studies that have shown a statistical correlation between handedness and protrusion of the occipital bone (occipital petalia), protrusion of the frontal bone (frontal petalia), and the transverse dimensions (widths) of the frontal and posterior portions of the hemispheres (LeMay, 1976; LeMay and Geschwind, 1978; LeMay and Kido, 1978; Bear et al., 1986). In this respect, Amunts et al. (2000) states that, although several studies have demonstrated that anatomical asymmetries in the sizes of the frontal and occipital lobes (Galaburda et al., 1978; LeMay and Kido, 1978; Weinberger et al., 1982; Bear et al., 1986; Kertesz et al., 1990) and the anterior speech region (Galaburda, 1980; Falzi et al., 1982; Amunts et al., 1999) are correlated with handedness, none of them pinpoints a neurobiological substrate of handedness. Steele (2000) also affirms that human handedness bears some relationship to cerebral asymmetry even at the gross morphological level detectable in dry skulls, but the relationship as it is presently understood is quite weak and possibly complicated by inter-population contrasts in the incidence of cerebral asymmetry.
