Sound localization was investigated in patients with homonymous hemianopia, a visual field defect characterized by a loss of vision in one hemifield that is caused by unilateral brain lesions involving the visual cortex or its afferents. The primary... Read More about Distortion of auditory space in hemianopia.

Dissociation of auditory and visual straight ahead in hemianopia (2009)
Journal Article

The perception of body orientation in space can be significantly affected by unilateral brain damage. One syndrome associated with such a disorder is homonymous hemianopia, resulting from lesions in postchiasmatic afferent visual pathways. Several st...

Sex differences in left-right confusion depend on hemispheric asymmetry (2009)
Journal Article

Numerous studies have reported that women believe they are more susceptible to left–right confusion than men. Indeed, some studies have also found sex differences in behavioural tasks. It has been suggested that women have more difficulties with left... Read More about Sex differences in left-right confusion depend on hemispheric asymmetry.

Effects of sex hormone therapy on interhemispheric crosstalk in postmenopausal women (2009)

Interactive effects of sex hormones and gender stereotypes on cognitive sex differences – a psychobiosocial approach (2009)
Journal Article

Biological and social factors have been shown to affect cognitive sex differences. For example, several studies have found that sex hormones have activating effects on sex-sensitive tasks. On the other hand, it has been shown that gender stereotypes... Read More about Interactive effects of sex hormones and gender stereotypes on cognitive sex differences – a psychobiosocial approach.

Perception of stationary and moving sound following unilateral cortectomy (2009)
Journal Article

The perception of motion is an essential prerequisite to responding adequately to the dynamic aspects of sensory information in the environment. The neural substrates of auditory motion processing are, at present, still a matter of debate. It has bee...

Sex differences and the impact of steroid hormones on the developing human brain (2009)
Journal Article
Neufang, S., Specht, K., Hausmann, M., Güntürkün, O., Herpertz-Dahlmann, B., Fink, G., & Konrad, K. (2009). Sex differences and the impact of steroid hormones on the developing human brain. Cerebral Cortex, 19(2), 464-473. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhn100

Little is known about the hormonal effects of puberty on the anatomy of the developing human brain. In a voxel-based morphometry study, sex-related differences in gray matter (GM) volume were examined in 46 subjects aged 8–15 years. Males had larger...

Estrogen therapy affects right hemispheric functioning in postmenopausal women (2009)
Journal Article
Bayer, U., & Hausmann, M. (2009). Estrogen therapy affects right hemispheric functioning in postmenopausal women. Hormones and Behavior, 55(1), 228-234. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yhbeh.2008.10.009

It has been suggested that hormone therapy (HT) in postmenopausal women differentially affects verbal and visuo-spatial abilities which mainly rely on left hemisphere (LH) and right hemisphere (RH) functioning, respectively. Thus, it seems likely tha... Read More about Estrogen therapy affects right hemispheric functioning in postmenopausal women.

According to the hypothesis of progesterone-mediated interhemispheric decoupling (Hausmann and Güntürkün, 2000), functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs), which are stable in men and change during the menstrual cycle in women, are generated by interhem...

Interhemispheric interaction during the menstrual cycle (2008)

Fluctuating levels of sex hormones and high levels of progesterone (P), in particular, have been suggested to reduce interhemispheric inhibition. The present study focuses on hormone-dependent modulation of interhemispheric integration. In two versio... Read More about Interhemispheric interaction during the menstrual cycle.

The evolutionary origins of functional cerebral asymmetries in humans: Does lateralization enhance parallel processing? (2008)

Functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs) are a fundamental principle of brain organization in many species. However, little is known about why they have evolved. Since FCAs are such a widespread phenomenon they seem to constitute an evolutionary select...
