The brief highlights a foundational link between human evolution and lateralized behavior, illustrating how shifts in locomotion and brain development may shape handedness. For clinicians and allied mental health professionals, this connection underscores the potential roots of motor-cognitive asymmetries and their relevance to habit formation, learning, and early development.

How good would it be to have Luke Raley up right now?

Damn #handedness

I have a feeling I have done this poll before, but can't find it, so let me try it again.

Are you left- or right-handed? Which had do you use to wipe after going number 2 in the bathroom?

(If you don't have a dominant hand, or wipe indifferently, choose whatever.)

To understand left- and right-handedness, Professor Eric Horstick looks at zebrafish, which have transparent bodies, develop into adults in a few days, and their genetics and brain structure are highly similar to humans'. Here's his story for @TheConversationUS

Only 10 to 15 percent of people are left-handed. @[email protected] explains the science behind it. Does the fediverse mirror the world? Vote in our poll!

Left- and right-handed people process high-speed visual information on opposite sides of the brain, but process high-speed auditory information on the same side of the brain.

Left- or mixed-handed? New research links non-right-handedness to early-onset neurological disorders like autism and dyslexia. #Handedness #NeurologicalResearch #BrainDevelopment

I hurt my hand on Sunday and now working with my left hand. Not withstanding I'm not used to using my left hand for everything, more things than I thought are designed for right hand use only...
