Epigenetic regulation of lateralized fetal spinal gene expression underlies hemispheric asymmetries
Lateralization is a fundamental principle of nervous system organization but its molecular determinants are mostly unknown. In humans, asymmetric gene expression in the fetal cortex has been suggested as the molecular basis of handedness. However, human fetuses already show considerable asymmetries...
