About half the world's population is right-handed but has left-handed family members. Such right-handers have special neurological organization of language and thought.
This has implications for therapies and our understanding of the genetic bases for language.
Our brain imaging studies show that grammatical knowledge is represented differently if you have left-handers in your family. For example, when it comes to language, everyones brain responds to certain language tasks quickly.
But that response is much stronger in the brain's right hemisphere if you have left-handers in your family and stronger in the left hemisphere if you have no left-handers in your family

The word “sinister” is derived from the Latin for left handed.

Yes he was... But he was a lefty when it came to shooting. His rifles were left handed.

Lefthandlers unite!
Even my U-Verse remote control is for right handlers.
But, on the other hand (he he), I’ve become ambidextrous in my lifelong effort to cope.

Hey you all. The TRICK to the Spinning Girl illusion (getting her to start appearing to turn the opposite direction) is to stare at the picture for 10-20 seconds and let your ‘gaze’ drop (which kinda happens when you get bored watching it).

I have a left-handed friend I shoot with who hates lefty guns.
He grew up shooting righties, and it throws him off to see the shells eject out the “wrong” side
