Meanings of lateralisation in English

The findings suggest gender-specific alterations of hemispheric lateralisation in schizophrenia.

Functional lateralisation is a fundamental principle of the human brain.

However, a comprehensive taxonomy of functional lateralisation and its organisation in the brain is missing.

Handedness did not influence symptom lateralisation.

The results indicate that an atypical cerebral lateralisation underlying non-right-handedness may be also a contributing factor to positive schizotypy.

In this magnetoencephalography study the issue of hemispheric lateralisation in patients with schizophrenia was addressed using acoustically evoked neuromagnetic fields.

This supports the notion that reduced manual lateralisation in schizophrenia is related to the illness rather than to familial left-handedness.

This latter result suggests that during evolution, brain size expansion led to functional lateralisation to avoid excessive conduction delays between the hemispheres.

Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the strength of manual lateralisation in patients with first episode schizophrenia, taking into account familial sinistrality.
