Abstract Synopsis

  • Hemispheric specialization is crucial to how the human brain is organized, but the role of lateralization in cognitive processes remains unclear.
  • Many people have left-hemispheric dominance for language, but a notable minority display reverse dominance, indicating variability.
  • Research using twin and family data shows that atypical language dominance relates to overall shifts in cortical organization, influenced by genetic factors, shedding light on population differences in brain specialization.
