Sylvian fissure morphology and asymmetry in men and women: Bilateral differences in relation to handedness in men
Abstract
The anatomy of the sylvian fissure in the human brain was studied to develop reliable criteria for anatomical landmarks of the posterior part of the fissure for use in its definition and measurement; to quantify right-left asymmetries in segments of the sylvian fissure; to assess whether any anatomical features are associated with hand preference (selected as one index of hemispheric functional asymmetry); and whether structure-function …
