As children grow into adolescence, corresponding regions on the left and right sides of their brain function less identically ...

Lateralization of the brain – the tendency for the left and right hemispheres to specialize in different functions – underlies the development of a left-to-right mental number line, according to a ...

As I concluded my previous post [Sexing the brain (function, anatomy, and structure)], I felt fairly safe in saying that there are no sex differences in lateralization for perceptual asymmetries as ...

A new study in *Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience* finds that adolescents with higher intelligence scores develop specialized brain hemisphere functions more quickly than peers. This shift from ...

Researchers discover that language and Theory of Mind originate in separate brain regions in children, challenging theories of overlapping cognitive development.

Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a new algorithm, the Krakencoder, that merges multiple types of brain imaging data to better understand how the brain s wiring underpins behavior, ...

Around the world, 10.6 percent of people are left-handed. Handedness is a form of so-called functional brain asymmetry: left-right differences in brain function. In left-handers, the right motor ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between these changes remains unclear. Prof. Yuhui Du's team at the College of Computer ...
