DOI: 10.7554/eLife.86797 Approximately 10% of the human population is left-handed. Among them, one in five exhibits a peculiar brain phenomenon known as atypical language lateralization.

In contrast, male mice had a very sensitive right hemisphere critical window, but no detectable window on the left. This points to the elusive role sex may play in brain plasticity.

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.

And a shift from left- to right-hemisphere language processing is characteristic of autism , where language development is often impaired. Children with certain neurodevelopmental conditions may ...

My lab has shown that mice process sound differently in the left and right hemispheres of their brains, and we have worked to tease apart the underlying circuitry. For example, we’ve found the left ...

Some of the most complex cognitive functions are possible because different sides of your brain control them. Chief among them is speech perception, the ability to interpret language.
