Abstract
The content of microelements in the cerebral cortex of rats featuring motor asymmetry was studied by the method of emission spectral analysi s with inductively bound argon plasma. The content of microelements (C d, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, P, S, and Zn) differs reliably in the subdomina nt and dominant hemispheres. We propose that interhemisphere asymmetry of the content of microelements plays the key role in formation of th e brain functional asymmetry.
