  "summary": "The two cerebral hemispheres specialize while remaining interconnected. Does greater structural asymmetry imply less connectivity, and does connectivity also relate to how asymmetry changes during development? We addressed these questions in three independent cohorts spanning birth to 22 years, measuring asymmetry as the magnitude of the left-right difference in association tract overlap across…",
