TL;DR: Handedness in both sexes is associated with the AR CAG-repeat length, with longer repeats being related to a higher incidence of non-right-handedness and differences in AR signaling in the developing brain might be one of the factors that determine individual differences in brain lateralization.

TL;DR: How parallel conflict monitoring and flexible adaptation of action is mediated via fronto-striatal networks is examined using a multi-methodological approach that integrated data from event-related potentials with structural MRI data and source localisation using sLORETA.

TL;DR: The results provide further evidence for the role of PCSK6 as candidate for involvement in the biological mechanisms that underlie the establishment of normal brain lateralization and thus handedness and support the assumption that the degree of handedness, instead the direction, may be the more appropriate indicator of cerebral organization.

TL;DR: The results show that pre-HDs only encounter problems in response inhibition, when discordant contextual information and sensory input have to be integrated, and phase-locking parameters may prove useful in future studies evaluating a possible function as a biomarker in Huntington's disease.

TL;DR: The findings acknowledge the role of the basal ganglia as an important structure determining action selection processes via a network of neocortical and striatal structures, in terms of an extended multiple demand system.
