Left-right asymmetry of callosal transfer in normal human subjects.
Abstract
Interhemispheric transfer (IT) of visuomotor information can be assessed by measuring the crossed-uncrossed difference (CUD) in the Poffenberger paradigm [14]. We report a series of experiments aimed at casting light on two aspects of IT: the importance of motor response variables and the nature of the left-right asymmetries found in a recent meta-analysis of studies using the Poffenberger paradigm [10]. In Experiments 1 and 2 we found no effect of varying the finger used for response while there was a larger CUD when using the left hand in comparison to the right hand. In Experiment 3, which employed visual stimuli different from the two preceding experiments, CUD asymmetries were related to hemifields rather than to hands with a CUD larger for the right than for the left visual hemifield. These findings suggests that both motor and visual variables are important for CUD asymmetries to occur and are in keeping with a horse race model according to which overall speed of IT is determined by whichever signal (visual or pre-motor) is more rapid in crossing from one side to the other. As to the issue of lateral asymmetries in the CUD, the results of Expt. 3 have also shown that asymmetries arise only in tasks requiring an IT and therefore cannot depend upon additive hemispheric effects.

SRTs are slightly faster to stimuli delivered to the visual field contralateral to the hand used in responding.
“SRTs are slightly faster to stimuli that are delivered to the visual field contralateral to the hand used in responding, which directly activates the hemisphere controlling motor responses, and therefore avoids the additional delay associated with callosal transmission (Clarke and Zaidel, 1989; Bisiacchi et al., 1994; Brizzolara et al., 1994; Chaumillon et al., 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
