Thus, although only the right hemisphere survived proper multiple comparison corrections, we do not believe that the data yield support to
hemispheric asymmetry of effects.
We also consider peculiar features of the Sun (very strong
hemispheric asymmetry of the sunspot location, unusual differential rotation and the lack of the K - corona) that imply a special mode of solar activity during the Maunder minimum.

This known
asymmetry has led researchers to investigate whether a similar left -
hemispheric bias could be found in other animals, as a possible evolutionary precursor
of human language.
This phenomenon has been coined HAROLD (
hemispheric asymmetry reduction in older adults) and reflects the reorganisation
of the brain as compensation for reduced brain capacity and efficiency due to age - related structural and physiological decline.
These findings demonstrate that handedness and
hemispheric dominance for language are significantly but independently associated with the
asymmetry of intra-
hemispheric intrinsic connectivity.
In addition, we investigated the relationship between
asymmetry in intra-
hemispheric intrinsic connectivity and language
hemispheric dominance, including a potential effect
of handedness on this relationship, thanks to an FMRI acquisition during language production from which an
hemispheric functional lateralization index for language (HFLI) and a type
of hemispheric dominance for language, namely leftward, ambilateral, or rightward, were derived for each individual.
Asymmetry in intra-
hemispheric intrinsic connectivity, and its association with handedness and
hemispheric dominance for language, were investigated in a sample
of 290 healthy volunteers enriched in left - handers (52.7 %).
I note that the subtropical arid zone tends to be located equatorward
of about 30 degrees, subject to various modifications due to circulation and
hemispheric asymmetry and whatnot.
The cooling effect
of man - made sulfates also helps explain the
hemispheric asymmetry in temperature history.
Some examples from energy balance model calculations indicate that: (1) solar variability has a near - global response, with the amplitude
of response slightly larger over land; (2) volcanism has a proportionately larger amplitude
of response over land than over ocean; and (3) the most oft - cited mode
of internal variability, changes in the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation, has a
hemispheric asymmetry in response.
Strong
asymmetry of hemispheric climates during MIS - 13 inferred from correlating China loess and Antarctica ice records
So, like age - related overactivation generally, this age - related alteration in
hemispheric specialization, a pattern dubbed «
hemispheric asymmetry reduction in older adults» or HAROLD (Cabeza, 2002), means that cognitive neuroscience studies
of brain aging are raising new questions with broad neuroscientific implications (Figure 1A).
