Sex Differences in Functional Brain Asymmetry.

Abstract

Adult males show the expected pattern of verbal intellectual decline following left hemisphere lesions, and depressed nonverbal intelligence following right hemisphere lesions. In contrast, women do not show selective verbal or performance intellectual deficits after unilateral brain injury. These findings suggest a greater degree of functional brain asymmetry in men than in women. (Author)
