Perception of one's body is related not only to the physical appearance of the body, but also to the neural representation of the body. The brain contains many body maps that systematically differ between right- and left-handed people. In general, the cortical representations of the right arm and right hand tend to be of greater area in the left hemisphere than in the right hemisphere for right...

I read with interest the short report by Bonnet et al. (1). It does not appear that the results were adjusted for potential age differences between the exposure groups. It would be helpful to know if there were any age differences between the right-handed, left-handed, and mixed-handed individuals. There are substantial cohort effects in handedness (2), with an increased acceptability of left-h...

We present a model–independent analysis of the Zbb̄ vertex, with the aim of constraining contributions of new physics to the leftand right–handed couplings of the b. We find that the left–handed coupling of the b is quite narrowly constrained by present data, but that the right–handed coupling is still largely unconstrained.

Template sequence construction The entire RUN session was divided into individual running laps. Laps were grouped into one of the two trajectories (leftright and rightleft). First, the two trajectories were linearized, and we computed a spatial firing rate curve ) ,..., 2 , 1 ( n i fi = for a cell at each spatial bin i (2 cm) on a linearized trajectory. Firing rate at a spatial bin was defined ...

The aim of this study was to present kinematics of trunk and upper extremities in tennis players who perform one-handed and two-handed backhand strokes. The study aimed to address the question of whether one of those techniques has some important advantage over the other. If so, what makes it superior? The study included 10 tennis coaches with average coaching experience of 9 years. The coaches...

In an auditory or musical task, subjects made pitch recognition judgments when the tones to be compared were separated by a sequence of interpolated tones. The left-handed subjects performed significantly better than the right-handed and also had a significantly higher variance. Further analysis showed that the superior performance was attributable largely to the left-handed subjects with mixed...

A leptogenesis scenario in a supersymmetric standard model extended with introducing right-handed neutrinos is reconsidered. Lepton asymmetry is produced in the condensate of a right-handed sneutrino via the Affleck-Dine mechanism. The LHu direction develops large value due to a negative effective mass induced by the right-handed sneutrino condensate through the Yukawa coupling of the right-han...

We examine constraints on a model with pure right-handed third generation charged couplings. The parameters of the right-handed mixing matrix and the right-handed coupling strength are constrained from semi-leptonic B decays, the mass difference of neutral mesons, the CP violating observables ǫ and ǫ/ǫ, and the electric dipole moment of the neutron. We find the model to be tightly constrained b...

All naturally occurring amino acids with the exception of glycine contain one or more chiral carbon atoms and can therefore occur in two different configurations, L (levo, left-handed) and D (dextro, right-handed). Proteins are almost exclusively built from L-amino acids. The stereochemical bias of nature is further reflected at the secondary structure level where right-handed helices are stron...

OBJECTIVE Studies of schizophrenia have not clearly defined handedness as a differentiating variable. Moreover, the relationship between thought disorder and anatomical anomalies has not been studied extensively in left-handed schizophrenic men. The twofold purpose of this study was to investigate gray matter volumes in the superior temporal gyrus of the temporal lobe (left and right hemisphere...
