A further study on the left-right asymmetry of the planum temporale.
By means of a rubbed copy method using India ink and an image-analysis system (IBAS 2000), the areas of 106 left-right plana temporalia were compared using fixed brains of both sexes. The left planum was of a larger size than the right planum in two-thirds of the cases. This result was confirmed statistically by the least-squares analysis of variance method (p < 0.01).
