Özet

Lateralization of peripheral nerve conduction velocity was studied in right-handed men (n=40) and women (n=48). Sensory and motor velocities were measured in ulnar and median nerves of the right and left hands. In women, the mean sensory velocity was significantly faster in the left than the right hand. There were no significant right-left differences in men. The mean sensory velocity from the right hand was significantly slower in women than men, creating an asymmetric organization of sensory conduction in women. Estradiol in women and testosterone in men were suggested as playing a role in asymmetric and symmetric nerve conductions, respectively.
