Thus, one in five persons has a handedness that is the opposite for which they are wired ( per laterality of command center or brainedness, as determined by reaction time study mentioned above ).

When a person is forced to use the hand opposite of the hand that they would naturally use, this is known as " forced laterality ", or more specifically " forced dextrality ".

The stark right-brain, left-brain dichotomy has been dismissed by most scientists as simplistic quasi-science, but neurologists have never lost interest in " laterality " and whether an inbalance can lead to psychiatric symptoms.

This right ear advantage in hearing and speech laterality was evidenced in Magnetic imaging results from this study showed greater left hemisphere activation when actual words were presented as opposed to pseudo-words ( Shtyrov, Pihko, and Pulvermuller, 2005 ).
35.
The laterality of the sensory inputs makes a difference insofar as left-sided inputs directed to the intact left hemisphere are not affected by extinction, or affected to a much smaller degree than left-sided inputs directed to the damaged right hemisphere.

One study of 219 working horses found a relation between the direction of facial hair whorls and motor laterality; right-lateralised horses had significantly more clockwise facial hair whorls and left-lateralised horses had significantly more counter-clockwise facial hair whorls.
37.
In humans, chirality ( also referred to as "'handedness "'or "'laterality "') is an attribute of humans defined by their unequal distribution of fine motor skill between the left and right hands.
38.
The unusual functional laterality in speech production ( e . g . right hemisphere auditory processing ) found in some individuals with schizophrenia could be due to aberrant neural networks established as a compensation for left temporal lobe damage induced by pre-or perinatal hypoxia.

Kinsbourne's considerable body of research involves multiple areas of cognitive neuroscience, including brain-behavior relations; consciousness; imitation; laterality among normal and abnormal populations; memory and amnestic disorders; unilateral neglect; attention and Attention Deficit Disorder; autism; learning disabilities; mental retardation, and dyslexia.

In domestic dogs ( " Canis familiaris " ), there is a correlation between motor laterality and noise sensitivity-a lack of paw preference is associated with noise-related fearfulness . ( Branson and Rogers, 2006 ) Fearfulness is an undesirable trait in guide dogs, therefore, testing for laterality can be a useful predictor of a successful guide dog.
