Cerebral dominance, sex, and callosal size inMRI
Abstract
We measured the MRI area of corpus callosum in 104 normal adults, 51 men, 53 women, 52 right- and 52 left-handers. There were no significant sex or handedness differences. Callosal areas did not correlate with brain size nor with measures of lateralization for hand performance, dichotic listening, or visual field preference. The results are contrary to the notion of increased callosal connectivity in left-handers, women, or individuals with less-lateralized function.

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.
