Educational Inclusiveness: Addressing Society’s Failure to Accommodate Left-Handedness

Left-Handedness

Understanding left-handedness.

BACKGROUND The human cerebrum is asymmetrical, consisting of two hemispheres with differing functions. Recent epidemiological and neurobiological research has shed new light on the development of the cerebral lateralization of motor processes, including handedness. In this article, we present these findings from a medical perspective. METHOD We selectively searched the PubMed online database ...

Developmental Aspects of Left-handedness

Investigations to explore human handedness have been conducted for ages. It is still uncertain what causes people to use the left or the right hand. Clues supporting the genetic origin of handedness have been accumulating and provide the best evidence. Nevertheless, in some populations there are different types of left-handers that do not seem to be explained solely by genes and differ from oth...

Does left-handedness confer resistance to spatial bias?

We recently demonstrated that drowsiness, indexed using EEG, was associated with left-inattention in a group of 26 healthy right-handers. This has been linked to alertness-related modulation of spatial bias in left neglect patients and the greater persistence of left, compared with right, neglect following injury. Despite handedness being among the most overt aspects of human lateralization, st...

Laterality: exploring the enigma of left-handedness.

In undergoing this life, many people always try to do and get the best. New knowledge, experience, lesson, and everything that can improve the life will be done. However, many people sometimes feel confused to get those things. Feeling the limited of experience and sources to be better is one of the lacks to own.
