Cerebral asymmetry in twins: predictions of the right shift theory.

Neuropsychologia - 1 Jan 2003

Annett Marian

Abstract excerpt

A study of the heritability of lobar brain volumes in twins has introduced a new approach to questions about the genetics of cerebral asymmetry. In addition to the classic comparison between monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins, a contrast was made between pairs of two right-handers (RR pairs) and pairs including one or more non-right-hander (non-RR pairs), in the light of the right shift (RS) theory of...
