Abstract
These few pages provide a brief summary of a study on cerebral dominance and its association with certain medical disorders, including some generally thought of as involving the immune system, and some comments on related studies in progress. Of particular interest for the student of headache is the connection indicated between cerebral dominance and migraine. The reader is referred to Geschwind and Behan [2] for details of the study.
Supported in part by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NINCDS 06209 and NS 14018) and the Orton Research Fund and Essel Foundation.
