“…Right-handers have a more pronounced hemispheric lateralization for cognitive functions, relying more on asymmetries between hemispheres, whereas left-handers are more likely to demonstrate an atypical lateralization [54]. This more pronounced lateralization for right-handers occurs also at a functional level, as left-handers typically exhibit weaker preferred hand tendencies than the counterparts [11].…”

The behavioral preference for the use of one side of the body starts from pre-natal life and prompt humans to develop motor asymmetries. The type of motor task completed influences those functional asymmetries. However, there is no real consensus on the occurrence of handedness during developmental ages. Therefore, we aimed to determine which motor asymmetries emerged differently during childhood. A total sample of 381 children in grades 1 to 5 (6–11 years old) of primary school were recruited and tested for two fine coordination tasks (Floppy, led by dexterity, and Thumb, led by speed-dominated skills) and handgrip strength (HS). Data about their handedness, footedness and sports participation were also collected. Children performed better with their dominant side, especially for the Floppy and HS tests. The asymmetries were more marked in right-handed children and did not differ by age, gender or type of sport. Our findings support the thesis of a functional lateralization in complex coordinative tasks and in maximal strength during developmental ages. Furthermore, our findings extend the evidence of a stronger lateralization in right-handed individuals, demonstrating it at a functional level in primary school children performing motor tasks. Fine motor skills allow a “fine” understanding of developmental trajectories of lateralized behavior.

“…How these locations could trigger an epileptogenic response is interesting. We know from previous studies that visuospatial attention is lateralized predominantly to the right hemisphere in right-handed individuals, albeit with variability across subjects [ 10 , 11 ]. The crossroads and T-junction might represent items of 3-dimensional space, with resultant non-dominant parietal activation in this case.…”

Reflex epilepsies are rare syndromes where seizures are triggered by particular stimuli or activities that may be motor, sensory or cognitive in nature. Triggers are diverse, may be extrinsic or intrinsic in nature and heterogeneous phenotypes have been described over the years. We give an account of a case of location-specific reflex epilepsy which we suggest is a novel reflex epilepsy phenotype relating to higher cortical function (HCF), and review the literature in relation to features of HCF reflex epilepsies described to date.

“…"The basic principles of Kaizen are: customer focus, continuous improvement, explicit recognition of the problem, teamwork, discipline development Self-service, providing continuous feedback to staff, and promoting staff development (19). These insights contribute to the understanding of individual variation of brain asymmetries and the mechanisms related to changes in cerebral dominance (20).…”

Background. Teachers including university professors insist on keeping up to date with the updating of students' information and developing their scientific potentials, through use of diverse teaching strategies. Objectives. Identifying on the brain dominance and the hypocritical personality for students, knowledge effect SWOT and Kaizen strategy in the brain dominance and the hypocritical personality for student and knowledge the strategies which achieve more development in the brain dominance and reduce the hypocritical personality for students. Methods. Two methods were used the descriptive method in measurement of the brain dominance and hypocritical personality, and the experimental method to determine the effectiveness of using the SWOT and Kaizen strategies in developing the brain dominance and reduce the hypocritical personality with fourth stage students in Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, sample of the research 60 students and duration of the procedures 14 weeks. Results. The SWOT and Kaizen are of the important strategies. Teachers should use it with their students to learn and develop brain dominance and reduction hypocritical personality for students. Conclusion. Brain dominance and hypocritical personality is centered within the moderate normative level of the students, SWOT and Kaizen strategies play a small role in development of the brain dominance and effective in reducing the hypocritical personality for students, there is no difference between the Kaizen and SWOT strategies in developing the brain dominance and a SWOT strategy is better than Kaizen's strategy for reducing students' hypocritical personality.
