Emotion recognition and regulation in males: Role of sex and stress steroids Open
Understanding emotions in males is crucial given their higher susceptibility to substance use, interpersonal violence, and suicide compared to females. Steroid hormones are assumed to be critical biological factors that affect and modulate…

Language lateralization in temporal lobe epilepsy: A behavioral screening tool for surgical planning. Open
The translingual lexical decision task can efficiently distinguish between left and right temporal lobe epilepsy. Compared to right temporal lobe epilepsy and controls, language lateralization is diminished in left temporal lobe epilepsy. …

Dichotic-listening performance after complete callosotomy: No relief from left-ear extinction by selective attention Open
The surgical section of the corpus callosum (callosotomy) has been frequently demonstrated to result in a left-ear extinction in dichotic listening. That is, callosotomy patients report the left-ear stimulus below chance level, resulting i…

Laterality indices consensus initiative (LICI): A Delphi expert survey report on recommendations to record, assess, and report asymmetry in human behavioural and brain research Open
Laterality indices (LIs) quantify the left-right asymmetry of brain and behavioural variables and provide a measure that is statistically convenient and seemingly easy to interpret. Substantial variability in how structural and functional …

Recommendations for a better understanding of sex and gender in neuroscience of mental health Open
There are prominent sex/gender differences in the prevalence, expression and lifespan course of mental health and neurodiverse conditions. Yet the underlying sex and gender related mechanisms and their interactions are still not fully unde…

Lateral Bias in Visual Working Memory Open
The present study aimed to evaluate functional cerebral asymmetries of visual working memory (VWM) in relation to language lateralization. The bilateral change detection paradigm with capital letters as stimuli and the translingual lexical…

Spatial anxiety and self-confidence mediate sex/gender differences in mental rotation Open
A recent meta-synthesis study with a sample of >12 million participants revealed that the male advantage in mental rotation (MR) is the largest cognitive sex/gender difference found in psychological literature. MR requires test takers to m…

Sex/Gender Differences in Verbal Fluency and Verbal-Episodic Memory: A Meta-Analysis Open
Women are thought to fare better in verbal abilities, especially in verbal-fluency and verbal-memory tasks. However, the last meta-analysis on sex/gender differences in verbal fluency dates from 1988. Although verbal memory has only recent…

Emotion lateralization in a graduated emotional chimeric face task: An online study. Open
The results provide further support for the RH hypothesis and suggest that the RH dominance in emotional face perception may be affected by task difficulty and visual perception strategy. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights …
View article: Sex/Gender Differences in Brain Lateralisation and Connectivity
Sex/Gender Differences in Brain Lateralisation and Connectivity Open
There is now a significant body of literature concerning sex/gender differences in the human brain. This chapter will critically review and synthesise key findings from several studies that have investigated sex/gender differences in struc…

<i>Laterality</i> entering the next decade – The 25th anniversary of a journal devoted to asymmetries of brain, behaviour and cognition Open
In 1996, Phil Bryden, Mike Corballis, and Chris McManus released the first issue of Laterality. These founding editors pointed out in their editorial how surprisingly long it took to have a journal...

Sex/gender differences in brain activity – it’s time for a biopsychosocial approach to cognitive neuroscience Open
There is compelling evidence that men and women differ in brain activity in long-term memory and other cognitive functions. However, until the origins of sex/gender differences in brain activity, and consequently behavior, are not fully un…

Sex/Gender Differences in the Human Brain Open
Recent years have seen a substantial increase in the amount of research concerning sex/gender differences in the human brain. In this chapter, we review and synthesize some key research findings concerning sex/gender differences in brain s…

A new roadmap for <i>Laterality: Asymmetries of brain, behaviour, and cognition</i> Open
In the inaugural (1996) issue of Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, the founding editors – Phil Bryden, Michael Corballis, and Chris McManus – laid out the need for a journal tha...

Global group laws and equivariant bordism rings Open
For every abelian compact Lie group A, we prove that the homotopical A-equivariant complex bordism ring, introduced by tom Dieck (1970), is isomorphic to the A-equivariant Lazard ring, introduced by Cole-Greenlees-Kriz (2000). This settles…

Laterality and (in)visibility in emotional face perception: Manipulations in spatial frequency content. Open
It is widely agreed that hemispheric asymmetries in emotional face perception exist. However, the mechanisms underlying this lateralization are not fully understood. In the present study, we tested whether (a) these asymmetries are driven …

Sex hormonal effects on brain lateralization Open
Functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs) refer to variation in neural function between the left and right cerebral hemisphere. Small but robust sex differences in FCAs are frequently observed. However, there are considerable inconsistencies …

The Neuromodulatory Effects of Sex Hormones on Functional Cerebral Asymmetries and Cognitive Control Open
Nearly 20 years ago, Hausmann and Güntürkün (2000a, 2000b) published a review article in the Journal of Neuropsychology/Zeitschrift für Neuropsychologie on the influences of sex hormones on functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs). They furt…

Cognitive sex differences and hemispheric asymmetry: A critical review of 40 years of research Open
According to a longstanding view, sex differences in cognitive abilities such as mental rotation or verbal memory arise from sex differences in hemispheric asymmetry: males are thought to be more lateralized than females which boosts their…
