Researchers investigate the link between 'handedness' and math skills.
Researchers have found the earliest evidence to date of right handedness in fossil records dating back 1.8 million years.
Researchers report genes that exhibit the greatest left-right differences in embryos are also implicated in an increased risk of developing schizophrenia.
A new study reports unborn children can carry out asymmetric hand movements as early as 12 weeks gestation.
While many associate left handed people with being more gifted musicians and artists, a new study reveals left handers often outperform their right handed peers in difficult problem solving tasks.
Researchers suggest that, regardless of where we are from in the world, humans are hardwired to lean to the right when kissing a romantic partner. The findings could have wider implications for neuroscience and cognitive sciences, the researchers report.
Astros and Dodgers players take note, your batting hand may determine your success in a game. Researchers report baseball players who throw and bat left-handed should have a batting advantage as they have less neurological hemispheric lateralization than right handers.
The preference to use one hand over the other is already defined by the 18th week of gestation, a new study reports.
A new study reveals behavioral lateralization may be hardwired during development rather than something learned from experience.
Researchers believe some treatments for mental health conditions may be ineffective, or even dangerous for left handed people. A new study reports areas of the brain housing alertness and determination may be on the right side for left dominant people. The new theory suggests the location of a person's neural system for emotion depends on their handedness.
A new study reveals why we have a lateral preference when it comes to displaying social emotions. Researchers say that while handedness plays a part in why we prefer to hug or kiss on one side, emotional content also plays a role.
According to researchers, the prevalence of being left-handed is lower in children who were breastfed compared to those who were bottle fed. The study proposes breastfeeding may optimize brain lateralization towards dominant handedness.
