Cerebral lateralization of praxis in right- and left-handedness: Same pattern, different strength

We aimed to investigate the effect of hand effector and handedness on the cerebral lateralization of pantomiming learned movements. Fourteen right‐handed and 14 left‐handed volunteers performed unimanual and bimanual tool‐use pantomimes with their dominant or nondominant hand during fMRI. A left hem...
