Hand preference in humans is associated with testosterone levels and androgen receptor gene polymorphism.

Neuropsychologia - 1 Jul 2012

Hampson Elizabeth, Sankar Janani S

Abstract excerpt

Exposure of the central nervous system to androgens during the early developmental period has been proposed to play a role in the establishment of hand preference in males. Existing data, however, are inconclusive. In the present investigation, handedness was assessed in a large sample of left-, mixed-, and right-handed men (N=180) using a standardized handedness inventory. Saliva sampling was used to assay...
