The results of experiments in mice models were "astounding," said biochemist Suzanne Pfeffer of Stanford University.

Neuroscientist explains how the brain processes language differently in each hemisphere, impacting speech perception and development.

In contrast, male mice had a very sensitive right hemisphere critical window, but no detectable window on the left. This points to the elusive role sex may play in brain plasticity.

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.
