Although there is consensus that the left hemisphere plays a critical role in language processing, some questions remain. Here we examine the influence of overt versus covert speech production on lateralization, the relationship between lateralization and behavioural measures of language performance and the strength of lateralization across the subcomponents of language. The present study used ...

Most face processing studies in humans show stronger activation in the right compared to the left hemisphere. Evidence is largely based on studies with static stimuli focusing on the fusiform face area (FFA). Hence, the pattern of lateralization for dynamic faces is less clear. Furthermore, it is unclear whether this property is common to human and non-human primates due to predisposing process...

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate clinical significance of a head-bending test in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) involving the posterior semicircular canal (PC-BPPV).Methods: We retrospectively recruited 256 patients with unilateral PC-BPPV between January 2016 and December 2021, assessed characteristics showing nystagmus (HBN).Results: Of patients, 138 (53.9%) showed HBN...

In the last few decades, research on lateralization has expanded our knowledge about manifestation, development, and mechanisms of this fascinating feature nervous systems. This been possible not only thanks to human studies, but use animal models introduction ground-breaking techniques within field. However, recent studies have also demonstrated how complex phenomenon is highlighted that we st...

Peters (1992) suggested that the asymmetry between the lengths of the left and right recurrent laryngeal nerves had been completely overlooked as a possible factor in the lateralization of hemispheric function. He has since (personal communication, 1993) acknowledged that this was incorrect insofar as Walker (1987a, 1988) had previously made very similar proposals to those contained in his arti...

Participants reported the apparent lateralization of sounds as a function of interaural level differences, for stimuli delivered through bone-conduction headsets and standard headphones. The results showed that non-externalized spatial audio can be invoked with the bonephones, a device that provides the unique advantage of not covering the ears of the listener. Furthermore, the degree of latera...
