The volume of a portion of the frontal and occipital lobes was measured in 40 brains in the Yakovlev Collection. In 32 cases the volume of the right frontal lobe was larger than that of the left; in the same number of cases the left occipital lobe was larger than the right (p less than 0.01). The asymmetries existed in fetal brains as early as 20 weeks of gestation. The results confirm observations made with computed tomography and indicate that this nonrandom asymmetrical pattern is an early manifestation of human brain development.
在雅科夫列夫藏品中的40个大脑中测量了额叶和枕叶部分的体积。在32例中，右侧额叶体积大于左侧；同样数量的病例中，左侧枕叶体积大于右侧（p小于0.01）。这种不对称早在妊娠20周时的胎儿大脑中就已存在。结果证实了计算机断层扫描的观察结果，并表明这种非随机的不对称模式是人类大脑发育的早期表现。
