Neurologists and neuroscientists have been fascinated with the
phenomenon of handedness and through the course of human history
the question that why a minority of each population is left-handed
and the rest right-handed has never been fully answered. An even
better question is whether the brains of left-handed individuals
are architected and wired different than those of the right-handers
and if such fundamental anatomic and functional dissimilarities
lead to the preference of left hand over the right hand. The
ultimate question is that how different the brains of left-handers
are from the right-handers or simply there are not many differences
between the two groups. More than its or social aspects, handedness
is a sophisticated subject of cognitive and behavioral neurology
which leads to the even more complicated of the left hemisphere
versus right hemisphere. The issue of handedness is of such
importance that one is the first components of any standard
neurological examination is determination of the handedness with
the idea of determining which hemisphere is dominant. In the
present book, Noroozian and her colleagues explore the
under-explored and fascinating world of handedness and attempt to
utilize the concept of handedness and the mechanisms responsible
for becoming right-handed versus left-handed as a bridge to better
understand the phenomenon of laterality of human brain. The authors
of this easily readable and easy-to-understand monograph review the
latest findings concerning handedness and human brain asymmetry.
This interesting book can serve as a great resource for clinical
psychologists, neurologists, neuroscientists, cognitive
neurologists and psychiatrists.
