Handedness in the human fetus.
Hepper PG, Shahidullah S, White R.
School of Psychology, Queen's University of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The developmental origins of behavioural asymmetries, in particular
handedness, have aroused considerable interest and debate. Until now
such behavioural asymmetries have only been reported after birth. Here
we report the existence of handedness before birth, expressed in terms
of thumb-sucking by the fetus. Ultrasound observations of fetuses from
15 weeks to term revealed a marked bias for sucking the thumb of the
right hand. This preference appears to be maintained throughout
pregnancy, is unrelated to fetal position in utero but correlates with
head position preference in the supine newborn. The findings indicate
that handedness is present prior to birth and the implications of this
for the development of laterality are discussed.
Not sure this is the article you need ... but appears pertinent.
