TLDR
Anatomical MRI is used to study the structural asymmetries of the left perisylvian regions in adults in preverbal infants to stress an important but little-known asymmetry: the larger depth of the right superior temporal sulcus at the base of Heschl's gyrus.

The Neural Representation of Sequences: From Transition Probabilities to Algebraic Patterns and Linguistic Trees

TL;DR: A taxonomy of five distinct cerebral mechanisms for sequence coding: transitions and timing knowledge, chunking, ordinal knowledge, algebraic patterns, and nested tree structures is proposed.

Mapping cortical brain asymmetry in 17,141 healthy individuals worldwide via the ENIGMA consortium

TL;DR: The structural asymmetries identified and their variabilities and heritability provide a reference resource for future studies on the genetic basis of brain asymmetry and altered laterality in cognitive, neurological, and psychiatric disorders.

Revisiting human hemispheric specialization with neuroimaging

TL;DR: New findings reveal the fundamental role of lateralization in the large-scale architecture of the human brain, whose ontogenesis has begun to be investigated with genetic-heritability brain mapping.

An anatomical and functional topography of human auditory cortical areas

TL;DR: A topography of areas is proposed that is consistent with old and recent anatomical post-mortem characterizations of the human auditory cortex and that may serve as a working model for neuroscience studies of auditory functions.

Human Brain: Left-Right Asymmetries in Temporal Speech Region

TL;DR: The planum temporale (the area behind Hesch's gyrus) is larger on the left in 65 percent of brains; on the right it is larger in only 11 percent.

Localization of the motor hand area to a knob on the precentral gyrus. A new landmark.

TL;DR: Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) it is concluded that neural elements involved in motor hand function are located in a characteristic 'precentral knob' which is a reliable landmark for identifying the precentral gyrus under normal and pathological conditions.

A tension-based theory of morphogenesis and compact wiring in the central nervous system.

TL;DR: Many structural features of the mammalian central nervous system can be explained by a morphogenetic mechanism that involves mechanical tension along axons, dendrites and glial processes.

Mapping brain asymmetry

TL;DR: Brain-mapping approaches show great promise for assessing factors that modulate cognitive specialization in the brain, including the ontogeny, phylogeny and genetic determinants of brain asymmetry.
