This was a left hemisphere effect and is therefore consistent with numerous reports suggesting left more than right amygdala involvement in schizophrenia [67], [68], [69].
The relative size of Heschl's gyrus was 11% larger on the left (effect size of 0.67) and 15% larger on the right (effect size of 0.75) for women.
This may explain, for instance, why Maurer et al. (2008) found a bilateral N170 effect when viewing Kanji in non-Japanese readers, but a left-lateralized effect in Japanese natives.
This levelling off may correspond to a "left-wall" effect, i.e. the trend cannot go further once the umbilicus is closed, because the closure of the umbilicus marks a constructional boundary (whorls completely overlap).
The topographic plots in Fig. 3 show the development of anterior left effects of regularity over the two time-windows, split by high and low frequency verbs.
Interestingly PITX1 has been shown to have a left-right asymmetric effect when the expression level of the gene was reduced or eliminated (Lanctôt et al., 1999; Marcil et al., 2003; Shapiro et al., 2004).
Thus, the impairments observed in the group of pure alexic patients cannot be explained as a general, nonspecific effect of a left posterior lesion.
Malone, showing no ill effects from a left knee injury Sunday, got little help from his teammates for the second straight game.
He deemed McCarthy, who ruined many careers with his accusations, a patriot and a victim of a decades-long smear campaign — in effect, a left-wing form of McCarthyism.
The data also provide an insight into the resolution with which this prioritisation can be implemented, because there was little evidence of a left-parietal ERP old/new effect for words to which a size judgment was made, despite the fact that visual imagery is likely to have been employed for drawing as well as for size judgments.
