Investigations using in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) morphometry have shown that left–right asymmetry of the planum temporale (PT) is a structural correlate of hemispheric functional asymmetries in adult humans (e.g., handedness, language representation). Postmortem studies of brains of fetuses and...
