The structure of human intelligence: It is verbal, perceptual, and image rotation (VPR), not fluid and crystallized (2005, background): “…thought processes, while the right hemisphere is more in control of non-verbal, spatially oriented thought processes (e.g., Gray, 1999; Hugdahl, 2000; Toga & Thompson, 2003), though it is clear that all tasks of any complexity involve contributions from both hemispheres (Gray & Thompson, 2004).”
Brain templates and atlases (2012, background): “…ethnicity and disease (Geschwind and Galaburda, 1985; Good et al., 2001; Im et al., 2010; LeMaitre et al., 2005; Luders and Toga, 2010; Luders et al., 2004; Reuter and Fischl, 2011; Thiebaut de Schotten et al., 2011; Thompson et al., 1998; Toga and Thompson, 2003; Zilles et al., 1997, 2001).”
What is right-hemisphere contribution to phonological, lexico-semantic, and sentence processing?: Insights from a meta-analysis (2011, neutral): “This distance was chosen to take into account functional imaging mean resolution (around 14 mm) and remaining anatomical differences and asymmetries after stereotactic normalization (for a review see Toga and Thompson, 2003).”
Sex differences in mental abilities: g masks the dimensions on which they lie (2007, background): “What this might mean in terms of brain structure and function is not clear, but it has long been known that the two hemispheres of the brain play differential roles in performance on different intellectual tasks involving verbal and image rotation abilities (Toga & Thompson, 2003).”
Learning Layer-Skippable Inference Network (2020, background): “Through psychological examination and functional imaging in primates, the hemispheric asymmetry of their brains has been studied extensively [9].”
A framework to study the cortical folding patterns. (2004, background): “Methodological differences and age effects may explain these inconsistencies (Toga and Thompson, 2003).”
A Population-Average, Landmark- and Surface-based (PALS) atlas of human cerebral cortex (2005, neutral): “As is already known (Toga and Thompson, 2003; Ochiai et al., 2004), the SF(red arrows) and STS Figure 15.”
Automatic segmentation of brain MRIs of 2-year-olds into 83 regions of interest (2008, methodology): “The growth in the use of imaging to assess brain morphology has been accompanied by an increase in the number of available investigations focussing on the organization of the brain (Evans et al., 1988; Zilles et al., 1995; Thompson et al., 2000; Mazziotta et al., 2001a; Hammers et al., 2002; Behrens”
Hemispheric asymmetries in language-related pathways: A combined functional MRI and tractography study (2006, background): “anatomical differences in the frontal and temporal lobes (Amunts et al., 1999; Good et al., 2001; Pujol et al., 2002; Shapleske et al., 1999; Toga and Thompson, 2003).”
White matter hemisphere asymmetries in healthy subjects and in schizophrenia: a diffusion tensor MRI study (2004, background): “…Hemisphere asymmetry in the brain has long been reported in healthy subjects in both neuroanatomy and function (Galaburda et al., 1978a; Geschwind, 1972; Geschwind and Galaburda, 1985a,b,c; Holinger et al., 2000; Kimura, 1973; Springer and Deutsch, 1998; Toga and Thompson, 2003).”
Global and local gray matter loss in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (2004, background): “It is known that healthy brain is asymmetrical in structure and function (Toga and Thompson, 2003), with the right hippocampus approximately 5% larger than the left (Jack et al.”
Parcellations and hemispheric asymmetries of human cerebral cortex analyzed on surface-based atlases. (2012, methodology): “All data sets can be viewed online using WebCaret without downloading data or software and can be downloaded for offline analysis using Caret or other GIFTI-compliant software.”
Unbiased Average Age-Appropriate Atlases for Pediatric Studies (2010, neutral): “As human brains have a certain degree of asymmetry (Toga and Thompson, 2003), the average template is expected to be asymmetric to reflect the average inequalities between the left and right hemispheres.”
