    Percept Mot Skills 98:249-71. 2004
    ..Each block scheme is grounded on the coupled vectors of motion organised with particular muscle groups. Some block schemes seemed linked specifically to the dominant arm...
  71. ncbi Effects of object asymmetry on visual attention
    Anne M Maguire
    Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science, Macquarie University, Sydney New South Wales, Australia
    Brain Cogn 48:457-62. 2002
    ..Together, the results suggest that apparent object-centered neglect may arise from the combined effects of mental rotation and within-object information asymmetries...
  72. ncbi From manual gesture to speech: a gradual transition
    Maurizio Gentilucci
    Department of Neuroscience, University of Parma, Parma I-43100, Italy
    Neurosci Biobehav Rev 30:949-60. 2006
    ..The final stage at which speech became relatively autonomous may have occurred late in hominid evolution, perhaps with a mutation of the FOXP2 gene around 100,000 years ago...

    Brain Res Cogn Brain Res 25:537-46. 2005
    ..Moreover, these data are compatible with the general view of a dominance of the right cortical hemisphere in auditory space perception...

  75. ncbi Interhemispheric neural summation in the split brain: effects of stimulus colour and task
    Matthew Roser
    Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, Dartmouth College, Dartmouth, NH 03755, USA
    Neuropsychologia 41:830-46. 2003
    ..These results suggest that neural summation in the acallosal or split brain involves the convergence of response-associated activation, and that redundant sensory processes are not sufficient...
  76. ncbi The evolution of foresight: What is mental time travel, and is it unique to humans?
    Thomas Suddendorf
    School of Psychology, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland 4072, Australia
    Behav Brain Sci 30:299-313; discussion 313-51. 2007
    ..We propose that future research should consider these mechanisms in addition to direct evidence of future-directed action. We maintain that the emergence of mental time travel in evolution was a crucial step towards our current success...
