Language lateralization of hearing native signers: A functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) study of speech and sign production
Abstract Neuroimaging studies suggest greater involvement of the left parietal lobe in sign language compared to speech production. This stronger activation might be linked to the specific demands of sign encoding and proprioceptive monitoring. ...
