  • Title: Negative evidence of difference between right- and left-handers in interhemispheric transfer of information.
    Author: Piccirilli M, Finali G, Sciarma T.
    Journal: Neuropsychologia; 1989; 27(7):1023-6. PubMed ID: 2771028.
    Abstract:
    The present study has been designed to investigate the relationship between handedness and callosal function. Based on the previous finding of a greater anatomical connection between the hemispheres in left-handers than in right-handers and in order to test the possibility of greater functional communication, the efficiency of interhemispheric transfer of information has been measured using a finger localization task. Comparison of two groups of male right-handed and left-handed subjects shows no difference in the efficiency of interhemispheric transfer of information.
