objectives:Cerebral laterality is thought to be an important marker for neurodevelopment. Prenatal testosterone could influence both cerebral laterality and 2nd to 4th finger length ratio(2D:4D). EEG coherence and 2D:4D were examined to investigate the relationship between prenatal testosterone level and cerebral laterality. Methods:EEG was recorded in 24 healthy subjects in the eyes closed resting state. Differences in 2D:4D finger ratio were used to iscriminate “masculine finger type” and “feminine finger type” groups. The 2D:4D ratio was lower and greater than one for the “masculine finger type” group and “feminine finger type” group, respectively. We used coherence analysis to estimate the cortical functional connectivity. Results:There were statistically meaningful relationships among cerebral functional connectivity, sex and finger ratio. Man and masculine finger type group showed higher intra-hemispheric coherence than those of woman and feminine finger type group. Woman and feminine finger type group showed higher inter-hemispheric coherence than those of man and masculine finger type group. Conclusions:These results imply that prenatal testosterone might act as important determinants of cerebral laterality. Further examination of the relationship between 2D:4D and EEG coherence in schizophrenia could give some clues for the neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia genesis.
