TL;DR
Morphological asymmetry of the posterior sylvian region was measured in carotid arteriograms of patients with medically refractory seizures and correlated with ear superiority on dichotic listening tests.
Abstract
Morphological asymmetry of the posterior sylvian region was measured in carotid arteriograms of patients with medically refractory seizures. Anatomical asymmetry correlated with ear superiority on dichotic listening tests.

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.

Further studies regarding the technique of intracarotid injection of Sodium Amytal seemed indicated, particularly with regard to the margin of safety in relation to dose and to the effect of accidental injection into the vertebral artery.

To determine the development of the convolutional pattern of the cerebral hemispheres, multiple gross photographs of 507 brains and serial sections of 207 brains from infants of 10 to 44 weeks' gestational age are examined.

The findings suggest that a higher percentage of persons may have right-sided cerebral representation for speech than has been assumed previously and a predetermined morphological asymmetry contributes to establishing the ultimate pattern of cerebral speech representation following an early insult to a predisposed hemisphere.

It was found that asymmetries similar to those found in the planum temporale are also seen in auditory cytoarchitectonic area Tpt, an area of probable importance for language function and may represent the anatomic substrate for language lateralization.

Comparative measurements were taken of the length of the left and right Sylvian fissures of human, chimpanzee, and rhesus monkey brains to confirm the findings of other studies that the human Sylvia fissure is longer on the left than on the right.

Functional differences of the cerebral hemispheres are great, but few consistent morphologic differences have been noted.

This work compared the courses of right and left lateral (sylvian) fissures by superimposing left lateral and reversed right lateral photographic slide projections and tracing the sulci and fissure of each hemisphere in different colors.

The extent of the anterior speech region (defined as pars opercularis and pars triangularis of the third frontal convolution) and of the planum temporale was measured in 12 brains belonging to strictly right-handed persons and found to be significantly larger than the homologous areas in the right hemisphere.

Bilateral intracranial arteriograms were evaluated for the angulation of the branches of the right and left middle cerebral arteries as they leave the Sylvian fissure and the dominant right-sided and left-sided superficial cortical venous drainage.
Archives of NeurologySymmetry and Asymmetry in the Human Posterior Thalamus
123 Citations1982David Eidelberg
It is found that thalamic zones with multiple projections to the cerebral cortex, using the centromedian-parafascicular nucleus as a prototype, were mostly symmetric, and this asymmetry may partially explain the apparent language specialization of the dominant thalamus.

A model of the inheritance of handedness and cerebral dominance is extended to take account of results from carotid angiograms of patients in whom the lateralization of speech representation was known from sodium amobarbital studies.

There are interhemispheric differences in the anatomy of the posterior sylvian region and of portions of the inferior frontal gyrus, and difficulties in attributing functional significance to these morphological asymmetries are discussed.

Their knowledge of the areas, convolutions, and furrows of the frontal region of the human brain has not yet reached that stage which permits us to say that this or that marking has such and such a meaning ; the authors cannot yet read the functional capacities of any given brain by a study of its external appearances.

Behavioral and neuroradiological confirmation of atypical hemispheric dominance is provided and speech and language skills were similar to those patients with similar lesions in the left hemisphere.

Doctor Kier’s excellent paper on plylogenetic and ontogenetic aspects of cerebral vascularization reminds us in a very eloquent way that blood vessels should never be studied in themselves, but always as reflecting the underlying organ.
