A further study on the left-right asymmetry of the planum temporale.
نویسندگان
چکیده
By means of a rubbed copy method using India ink and an image-analysis system (IBAS 2000), the areas of 106 left-right plana temporalia were compared using fixed brains of both sexes. The left planum was of a larger size than the right planum in two-thirds of the cases. This result was confirmed statistically by the least-squares analysis of variance method (p < 0.01).

Morphology of the planum temporale and corpus callosum in left handers with evidence of left and right hemisphere speech representation.
In the present study we investigated planum temporale asymmetry and corpus callosum morphology in a sample of young adult left-handed males, using MRI. Two subgroups of left-handed males were identified on the basis of their differing speech lateralization patterns, which were inferred from results of the Fused Dichotic Words Test. These individuals then underwent MRI in order to obtain area me...
متن کاملLeft planum temporale volume reduction in schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND The planum temporale, located on the posterior and superior surface of the temporal lobe, is a brain region thought to be a biological substrate of language and possibly implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. To investigate further the role of planum temporale abnormalities in schizophrenia, we measured gray matter volume underlying the planum temporale from high spatial...
متن کاملAsymmetry of planum temporale constrains interhemispheric language plasticity in children with focal epilepsy
Reorganization of eloquent cortex enables rescue of language functions in patients who sustain brain injury. Individuals with left-sided, early-onset focal epilepsy often show atypical (i.e. bilateral or right-sided) language dominance. Surprisingly, many patients fail to show such interhemispheric shift of language despite having major epileptogenic lesions in close proximity to eloquent corte...
متن کاملAutomatic analysis of cerebral asymmetry: an exploratory study of the relationship between brain torque and planum temporale asymmetry.
Leftward occipital and rightward frontal lobe asymmetry (brain torque) and leftward planum temporale asymmetry have been consistently reported in postmortem and in vivo neuroimaging studies of the human brain. Here automatic image analysis techniques are applied to quantify global and local asymmetries, and investigate the relationship between brain torque and planum temporale asymmetries on T1...
متن کاملAbsolute pitch and planum temporale.
An increased leftward asymmetry of the planum temporale (PT) in absolute-pitch (AP) musicians has been previously reported, with speculation that early exposure to music influences the degree of PT asymmetry. To test this hypothesis and to determine whether a larger left PT or a smaller right PT actually accounts for the increased overall PT asymmetry in AP musicians, anatomical magnetic resona...
