What is it about?
This paper shows that the structure of the brain, as measured for the insular cortex, and the functional laterality of gesture, but also language, are closely related.

Why is it important?
This is one of the first reports in the world showing the existence of such a brain-function relationship in the domain of gesture. It also corroborates similar findings for language from two other groups of researchers working on similar issues, and using similar techniques.
Perspectives
The first project finished under my supervision. Szymon Bidula worked hard and did an excellent job. Keller et al.'s paper (Can the language-dominant hemisphere be predicted by brain anatomy? ) was critical for us.
