Left-handers are better at some types of sports than right-handers. But are they also more competitive? A new study says yes.

Handedness and lateral preference studies investigate the biological, genetic, and environmental foundations that contribute to the asymmetrical organisation of the human brain. By examining ...

Most people consistently use the same hand to do tasks that require skill and control such as writing or threading a needle. We know genetics plays a big part in which hand a person prefers, but it ...

Globally, 10.6 percent of people are left-handers, while the remaining 89.4 percent are right-handers (Papadatou-Pastou et al., 2020). While it is known that handedness is influenced by both genetic ...

Atypical lateralization, as indicated by mixed-handedness, has been related to diverse psychopathologies. Maternal prenatal stress has recently been associated with mixed-handedness in the offspring.

New research identifies regions of the genome associated with left-handedness in the general population and links their effects with brain architecture. Scientists linked these genetic differences ...

In graduate school, I earned beer money by modeling for life drawing classes in various art departments. (Don’t judge, grad school doesn’t pay well and beer isn’t free.) In the long hours standing ...

We have all been familiar since childhood with the fact that our left and right hands are identical in structure but not in shape. They are mirror images of each other. In everyday life, this means ...
