New research, "Hand preference and performance in 20 pairs of monozygotic twins with discordant handedness," is the subject of a report. According to recent research published in the journal Cortex, "The differences between right (RH) and left (LH) handers reported in the literature on fine motor tasks, has traditionally been interpreted relative to purported functioning of the cerebral hemispheres. However, conclusive evidence for performance differences which are intrinsic to handedness per se is difficult to obtain unless left and right handers are compared who are similar in their genetic and environmental background."

"The present study therefore, employed a...
