Brain & Finger - How it Connects
Right Brain is corresponding to Left Hand and Left Brain is corresponding to Right Hand.
During the earlier days, when American doctors discovered a strange case where the baby is born without a brain. In this case, the absence of brain is associated with the absence of fingerprints as well. Cases like this repeated throughout history, leading medical experts to believe that the brain is absolutely linked to the fingerprints. Neurobiologists point out that our fingerprints development are synchronised with that of the neocortex. For example, children with Down Syndrome have a fingerprints with distinguishable characteristics.
Canadian neurology professor Penfield published the chart between brain regions and bodily functions. In the chart, the relationship between fingerprints and the brain is also pointed out.
Japanese medical expert professor pointed out that the fingers are closely related to the brain hemisphere. Therefore, this has been widely used in many fields.
- The human brain is the most fascinating three pounds of matter on this Universe.
- During brain development, 250,000 neurons are added every minute.
- The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body and vice versa.
- The hemispheres are divided in terms of what kind of thought they process or produce.
Arch
Characteristics :- Practical, realistic, conservative and shy. Needs motivation to performance.
Loop
Characteristics :- Emotional, Team player, Adaptive, Easy to approach, Good in interaction.
Whorl
Characteristics :- Highly focussed, goal oriented, target centric, inflexible, independent and proactive.
Accidental
Characteristics :- Mixed characteristics of various of patterns, may create the situation of confusion.
In 1686
Dr. Marcello Malphigi (1628-1694) noted in his treatise; ridges, spirals and loops in fingerprints
In 1788
J.C.Mayer was the first to write out basic tenets of fingerprint analysis and theorized that fingerprints were unique
In 1823
Dr. Jan Purkinje classified the papillary lines on the fingertips into nine types: arch, tented arch, ulna loop, radial loop, peacock s eye/compound, spiral whorl, elliptical whorl, circular whorl, and double loop/composite. Joannes Evangelista Purkinji found that the patterns on one s finger tips and the ridges and lines on one s prints begin to form at around the thirteenth week in the womb.
In 1832
Dr. Charles Bell (1774-1842) was one of the first physicians to combine the scientific study of neuro-anatomy with clinical practice.He Published The Hand: Its Mechanism and Vital Endowments as Evincing Design.
In 1893
Dr. Francis Galton published his book, Fingerprints, establishing the individuality and permanence of fingerprints. The book included the first classification system for fingerprints: Arch, Loop and Whorl.
In 1897
Harris Hawthorne Wilder was the first American to study Dermatoglyphics. He invented the Main Line Index, studied thenar hypothenar eminencies, zones II, III, IV.

In 1926
Dr. Harold Cummins & Dr. Charles Midlo coined the term Dermatoglyphics. They showed that the hand contained significant Dermatoglyphics configurations that would assist the identification of mongolism in the new-born child.
In 1936
Dr. Harold Cummins & Dr. Charles Midlo also researched the embryo-genesis of skin ridge patterns and established that the fingerprint patterns actually develop in the womb and are fully formed by the fourth foetal month.
In 1944
Dr Julius Spier Psycho-Analytic Chirologist published The Hands of Children he made several significant discoveries especially in the area of psycho-sexual development and the diagnosis of imbalances and problems in this area from the patterns of the hands.
In 1957
Dr.Walker used the dermal configurations in the diagnosis of mongolism
In 1968
Sarah Holt, whose own work 'The Genetics of Dermal Ridges published in 1968, summarizes her research in of Dermatoglyphics patterns of both the fingers and the palm in various peoples, both normal and congenitally afflicted.
In 1969
John J. Mulvihill, MD and David W. Smith, MD published The Genesis of Dermatoglyphics that provides the most up to date version of how fingerprints form.
In 1970
USSR,Former Soviet Union. Using Dermatoglyphics in selecting the contestant for Olympics.
In 1976
Schaumann and Alter's 'Dermatoglyphics in Medical Disorders' published.Significant investigations have also been carried out into the Dermatoglyphics indicators of congenital heart disease, leukaemia, cancer, rubella embryopathy, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia etc.Dermatoglyphics research being directed into genetic research and the diagnosis of chromosomal defects.
In 1980
China carry out researching work of human potential, intelligence and talents in Dermatoglyphics and human genome perspective.
In 1985
Dr. Chen Yi Mou Phd. of Havard University research Dermatoglyphics based on Multiple Intelligence theory of Dr. Howard Gardner. First apply Dermatoglyphics to educational fields and brain physiology.
In 2000
Dr Stowens, Chief of Pathology at St Luke's hospital in New York, claims to be able to diagnose schizophrenia and leukaemia with up to a 90% accuracy. In Germany, Dr Alexander Rodewald reports he can pinpoint many congenital abnormalities with a 90% accuracy.
In 2004
IBMBS- International Behavioral & Medical Biometrics Society. Over 7000 report and thesis published. Nowadays the U.S., Japan or China, Taiwan apply Dermatoglyphics to educational fields, expecting to improve teaching qualities and raising learning efficiency by knowing various learning styles. Dermatoglyphics in Recent History Although many important discoveries regarding the psychological significance of fingerprint patterns have been made, the main thrust of scientific Dermatoglyphics research in the latter half of the twentieth century has been directed into genetic research and the diagnosis of chromosomal defects. Over the last thirty years or so, more than four thousand papers have been written on the significance of skin-ridge patterns! The current state of medical Dermatoglyphics is such that the diagnosis of some illnesses can now be done on the basis of Dermatoglyphics analysis alone and currently, several Dermatoglyphics researchers claim a very high degree of accuracy in their prognostic ability from the hand s features.
