Project description
We will explore anatomical and functional motor asymmetries in the brains of people with situs inversus. We will also study the effect of handedness consistency on hemispheric specialization. Finally, we will document the motor recuperation of babies born with neural injury of the dominant upper limb, and explore how the brain responds to this impaired use in early motor development.
