Association between scalp hair-whorl direction and hemispheric language dominance.
Asymmetry is a common phenomenon in higher organisms. In humans, the cortical representation of language exhibits a high degree of asymmetry with a prevalence of about 90% of left hemispheric dominance, the underlying mechanisms of which are largely unknown. Another sign that exhibits a form of lateralization is the scalp hair-whorl direction, which is either clockwise or anti-clockwise. The sc...
متن کاملLaterality in children: cerebellar dominance, handedness, footedness and hair whorl
The purpose of our study was to ascertain the degree of correlation between handedness and physiological neocerebellar extinction syndrome demonstrable on the side contra lateral to the dominant upper extremity. Using the Edinburgh questionnaire and other tests for “handedness”, we examined 221 healthy 9–11-year old schoolchildren for handuse preference. To test their handedness the following 6...

متن کاملThe genetic basis of hair whorl, handedness, and other phenotypes.
Evidence is presented that RHD, RHCE, and other RH genes, may be interesting candidates to consider when searching for the genetic basis of hair whorl rotation (i.e., clockwise or counterclockwise), handedness (i.e., right handed, left handed or ambidextrous), speech laterality (i.e., right brained or left brained), speech dyslexia (e.g., stuttering), sexual orientation (i.e., heterosexual, hom...
