title: [Considerations on the cerebral organization of left-handed persons].
abstract: Left-handedness, being exception to the rule of right-handedness, has provoked several questions about its origins and the significance of its relationships with some individual traits, like cognitive style, personality, creativity, motor abilities. Investigations on left-handedness in recent years suggest that hand preference is linked to the peculiar functional organization of the two hemispheres of the brain.
