The development of functional brain asymmetry during childhood is confirmed
by changes in cerebral blood flow measured at rest using dynamic single
photon emission computed tomography. Between 1 and 3 years of age, the
blood flow shows a right hemispheric predominance, mainly due to the
activity in the posterior associative area. Asymmetry shifts to the left
after 3 years. The subsequent time course of changes appear to follow the
emergence of functions localized initially on the right, but later on the
left hemisphere (i.e. visuospatial and later language abilities). These
findings support the hypothesis that, in man, the right hemisphere develops
its functions earlier than the left.
