Language lateralization is based on a hemispheric advantage arising from predetermined structural connectivity of functional networks sub serving language competence. Among all the associative tracts, the main candidate for the support of this functional advantage is the arcuate fasciculus. While the arcuate fasciculus is left-sided lateralized in right handed subjects
