Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Language-processing is bilateral in women and lateralized in men?

No. Modern neuroimaging and meta-analytic evidence refutes the long-standing claim that language processing is bilateral in women and lateralized in men, demonstrating instead that language networks are left-lateralized across sexes with only subtle or task-dependent differences.

The neurobiology of sex differences during language processing in healthy adults: A systematic review and a meta-analysis.
2020
A systematic review and meta-analysis of fMRI and PET studies found that sex differences in cortical activity during language processing are largely inconsistent, supporting similarities rather than bilateral organization in women versus lateralized organization in men.

Dynamic brain lateralization patterns in Chinese naturalistic language comprehension and association with sex differences: a 7T functional magnetic resonance imaging study.
2026
A 7T fMRI study identified dynamic lateralization states during language comprehension and showed that sex differences relate to the processing of rational versus emotional content rather than a categorical difference between bilateral versus lateralized language representation.
