Functional Brain Asymmetry and Environmental Conditions During Early Embryogenesis and Ontogenesis

Indices of the functional brain asymmetry (FBA) associated with the environment conditions on the months of conception and birth were studied in 4201 persons born in 1920- 1995. We used sensorimotor tests of A.R. Luria and indices of the solar activity, gravity, geomagnetic field, interplanetary mag...

Description
Summary:Indices of the functional brain asymmetry (FBA) associated with the environment conditions on the months of conception and birth were studied in 4201 persons born in 1920- 1995. We used sensorimotor tests of A.R. Luria and indices of the solar activity, gravity, geomagnetic field, interplanetary magnetic field, as well as regional parameters of the temperature, precipitation and the day length. Significant and valid variations of the FBA indices were found to depend on the month of delivery (p ≤ 0.001). Numerous correlations were revealed between the FBA indices and the environmental condition (p ≤ 0,05÷0.001). The results in women were substantially different from the results in men.
