Review of some main contributions on the relationship between handedness and language lateralization in healthy volunteers assessed by either functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) or functional Transcranial Doppler (fTCD).

ROI: region of interest used for lateralization index computation (Fr: Frontal, Te: Temporal). threshold: lateralization index value used to segregate typical from atypical language lateralization. MP: Manual Preference. ES score: Edinburgh inventory Score of right- (RH) and left-handers (LH). SR: Self-reported manual preference. N: sample size. %typical: fraction of individuals exhibiting typical left-hemisphere dominance for language. Summary statistics (means weighted by sample sizes, in bold italic) are provided for the set of reports using each method (fTCD or fMRI).
