987-Person Preprint: Language and Attention Lateralization Has No Fixed Template
AnnaCiaunica · x · 2026-10-14
A preprint of 987 people finds three distinct brain profiles for language and attention lateralization without clear cognitive differences. MIT's Miller Lab comments that the brain's neat division of labor — language on one side, attention on the other — is just one of several workable layouts; hemispheric specialization appears flexible and partly inherited, not governed by a fixed template.
