Neuroscientist explains how the brain processes language differently in each hemisphere, impacting speech perception and development.

Approximately 10% of the human population is left-handed. Among them, one in five exhibits a peculiar brain phenomenon known as atypical language lateralization. While most people attribute their ...

While most people attribute their language capability to their left hemisphere, this atypical group of left-handers utilises their right hemisphere to speak.

The right hemisphere critical window opens earlier in female mice, and the left hemisphere window opens just days later. In contrast, male mice had a very sensitive right hemisphere critical ...

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.

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.
