  • Title: Amount of asymmetry in grasp reflex depends on the grasp reflex of the left hand in human neonates.
    Author: Tan U.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1994 Feb; 78(1):80-2. PubMed ID: 8177692.
    Abstract:
    Grasp-reflex strengths from right and left hands were measured in 33 human neonates. There was no significant correlation between right minus left grasp-reflex strength and grasp-reflex strength from the right hand. The grasp-reflex strength of the left hand was negatively linearly correlated with the right minus left grasp-reflex strength. It was suggested that the right brain may be the main determinant for the motor asymmetry in hands.
