TLDR
The way musical information is processed may be an important determinant of hemispheric mediation, and differential laterality effects are apparent as a function of subjects' training or adopted strategies.About:

Sex differences in human brain asymmetry: a critical survey
TL;DR: This review provides a critical framework within which two related topics are discussed: Do meaningful sex differences in verbal or spatial cerebral lateralization exist?
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of hemispheric specialization in man
TL;DR: The traditional verbal/nonverbal dichotomy is inadequate for completely describing cerebral lateralization as mentioned in this paper, and evidence for a specialist left-hemisphere mechanism dedicated to the encoded speech signal is weakening, and the right hemisphere possesses considerable comprehensional powers.

Effects of individualized versus classical "relaxation" music on the frequency of agitation in elderly persons with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
TL;DR: A repeated measures analysis of variance with Bonferroni post hoc test showed a significant reduction in agitation during and following individualized music compared to classical music, supporting a theoretically based intervention for agitation in persons with ADRD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Information processing in the cerebral hemispheres: selective hemispheric activation and capacity limitations.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the left hemisphere functions as a typical limited-capacity information processing system that can be influenced somewhat separately from the right hemisphere system and indicates that concurrent verbal memory influences processing stages beyond those that are common to the form-pair and letter-pair tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociating Neural Mechanisms of Temporal Sequencing and Processing Phonemes
TL;DR: A functional dissociation of the canonical left hemisphere language regions encompassing the "phonological loop" is suggested, with the left posterior inferior frontal gyrus responding not to the sound structure of language but rather to sequential operations that may underlie the ability to form words out of dissociable elements.

Higher cortical functions in man
TL;DR: Among the authors' patients was a bookkeeper with a severe form of sensory aphasia who could still draw up the annual balance sheet in spite of severe disturbances of speech and although he was unable to remember the names of his subordinates and used to refer to them incorrectly.
