本文研究了先天性性腺激素缺乏对言语和空间表现的影响以及对特发性促性腺功能减退症患者半球不对称的影响。与匹配的对照组相比，患者表现出左半球对语言材料的优势，并且主要在涉及短期记忆负荷的任务中轻度受损。这些结果并没有表明性腺激素在大脑半球不对称的形成中起着特定的作用。在大脑发育过程中，缺乏接触会导致记忆功能的下降，这并不局限于语言或空间材料。
The effects of congenital deficiency of gonadal hormones on verbal and spatial performance and on the establishment of hemispheric asymmetries were investigated in a group of patients with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The patients showed a left hemispheric advantage for verbal material and were mildly impaired, mainly on tasks involving a short-term memory load, in comparison with a matched control group. These results do not indicate a specific role of gonadal hormones on the establishment of hemispheric asymmetries. Lack of exposure during brain development results in a decrease in memory functions which is not specific for verbal or spatial material.
