People with poorer glucose control show faster learning from rewards, in turn linked to higher depression symptoms. This suggests a neurocognitive bridge between metabolic disease and mood: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsgos.2025.100645

When mine were younger, we had many a Green Eggs and Ham playdate: reading Dr Seuss and making your recipe for dinner. How could I have forgotten this delicious memory. Thank you for the lovely reminder.

So, in my view, handedness is a great example of a trait where the relationship between genotype and phenotype is just inherently probabilistic. What you inherit is a likelihood, but how that plays out depends significantly on chance. (No hidden variables).
