abstract = {Inter-hemispheric asymmetries are a common phenomenon of
the human brain. Some evidence suggests that
neurodegeneration related to aging and disease may
preferentially affect the left-usually language- and
motor-dominant-hemisphere. Here, we used activation
likelihood estimation meta-analysis to assess gray matter
(GM) loss and its lateralization in healthy aging and in
neurodegeneration, namely, mild cognitive impairment (MCI),
Alzheimer's dementia (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and
Huntington's disease (HD). This meta-analysis, comprising
159 voxel-based morphometry publications (enrolling 4,469
patients and 4,307 controls), revealed that GM decline
appeared to be asymmetric at trend levels but provided no
evidence for increased left-hemisphere vulnerability.
Regions with asymmetric GM decline were located in areas
primarily affected by neurodegeneration. In HD, the left
putamen showed converging evidence for more pronounced
atrophy, while no consistent pattern was found in PD. In
MCI, the right hippocampus was more atrophic than its left
counterpart, a pattern that reversed in AD. The stability of
these findings was confirmed using permutation tests.
However, due to the lenient threshold used in the asymmetry
analysis, further work is needed to confirm our results and
to provide a better understanding of the functional role of
GM asymmetries, for instance in the context of cognitive
reserve and compensation},
