Time-resolved sex differences in language lateralization.
Many clinical, behavioural and brain imaging studies have suggested that language functions are less asymmetrical in women than in men. Sommer and colleagues challenge this view in a recent review on the outcome of 24 functional brain imaging studies (PET, functional MRI or functional transcranial Doppler ultrasound) that looked at possible sex differences in language lateralization. A vote cou...
متن کاملSex differences in lateralization revealed in the posterior language areas.
It has been hypothesized that language functions are more strongly lateralized to the left hemisphere in males than in females. Previous anatomical data and patient studies have suggested that the posterior language areas should exhibit sex differences. However, neuroimaging studies to date have only provided support for differences in the anterior language areas. To look for differences in the...
متن کاملSex differences in handedness, asymmetry of the planum temporale and functional language lateralization.
Many studies have investigated sex differences in language lateralization. Despite the large number of investigations, controversy about the presence of sex differences in lateralization remains. This study aims to provide a complete overview of sex differences in several reflections of language lateralization: handedness, asymmetry of the Planum Temporale (PT) and functional lateralization of ...
متن کاملSex differences in spatial ability: a lateralization of function approach.
The current study was designed to examine whether the extent of the male advantage in performance on a spatial task was determined by the extent to which the task was right-hemisphere dependent. Participants included 108 right-handed men and women who completed the mental rotation, waterlevel, and paperfolding tasks, all of which were presented bilaterally. The results partially supported the h...
متن کاملSex-Differences, Handedness, and Lateralization in the Iowa Gambling Task
In a widely used decision-making task, the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), male performance is observed to be superior to that of females, and is attributed to right lateralization (i.e., right hemispheric dominance). It is as yet unknown whether sex-differences in affect and motor lateralization have implications for sex-specific lateralization in the IGT, and specifically, whether sex-difference in...
