Learning-related brain hemispheric dominance in sleeping songbirds
There are striking behavioural and neural parallels between the acquisition of speech in humans and song learning in songbirds. In humans, language-related brain activation is mostly lateralised to the left hemisphere. During language acquisition in humans, brain hemispheric lateralisation develops as language proficiency increases. Sleep is important for the formation of long-term memory, in h...
متن کاملHuman-like brain hemispheric dominance in birdsong learning.
Unlike nonhuman primates, songbirds learn to vocalize very much like human infants acquire spoken language. In humans, Broca's area in the frontal lobe and Wernicke's area in the temporal lobe are crucially involved in speech production and perception, respectively. Songbirds have analogous brain regions that show a similar neural dissociation between vocal production and auditory perception an...
متن کاملDoes hemispheric dominance influence brain lesion distribution in multiple sclerosis?
To evaluate whether hemispheric lesion distribution in multiple sclerosis is related to the uneven interhemispheric localisation of cerebral function, a 10 item self administered questionnaire evaluating hand preference and supratentorial brain MRI was obtained in 23 patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis. The mean degree of hand preference was +74 (range -86 to +100). The median ...
متن کاملMemory in the making: localized brain activation related to song learning in young songbirds.
Songbird males learn to sing their songs from an adult 'tutor' early in life, much like human infants learn to speak. Similar to humans, in the songbird brain there are separate neural substrates for vocal production and for auditory memory. In adult songbirds, the caudal pallium, the avian equivalent of the auditory association cortex, has been proposed to contain the neural substrate of tutor...
متن کاملHemispheric dominance and cell phone use.
IMPORTANCE A thorough understanding of why we hold a cell phone to a particular ear may be of importance when studying the impact of cell phone safety. OBJECTIVE To determine if there is an obvious association between sidedness of cell phone use and auditory hemispheric dominance (AHD) or language hemispheric dominance (LHD). It is known that 70% to 95% of the population are right-handed, and...
