Cerebral laterality and psychiatry: a review of the literature
BE Wexler
The two sides of the human brain are functionally and anatomically
different. Research methods based on this cerebral laterality have been
used to investigate regional brain function in psychiatric illness. The
author describes the functional and anatomic differences between the two
sides of the brain, the research methods based on these differences, and
the results of studies that have used these methods to investigate brain
dysfunction in psychiatric illness.
