To the Editor: The development of the convolutional pattern of the human brain is poorly understood¹. Using high-resolution in vivo magnetic resonance morphometry, we recently studied cerebral left-right asymmetry in 20 pairs of healthy monozygotic twins (16 female and 4 male pairs, ranging in age from 10 to 62 years) who were concordant (10 pairs) or discordant (10 pairs) for handedness². Monozygosity was ensured by blood typing, which yielded a probability >0.99 that each pair was monozygotic².

A comparison of the 128 contiguous sagittal magnetic resonance images obtained from the brain of each subject, as well as . . . [Full Text of this Article]
