Comparative studies on brain asymmetry date back to the 19th century but then largely
disappeared due to the assumption that lateralization is uniquely human. Since the …

Popular culture, from movies, advertising, to self-help books, is captivated by left-brain/right-
brain differences and how these might influence our personalities, moods, and capabilities …

It is widely acknowledged that the left and right hemispheres of human brains display both
anatomical and functional asymmetries. For more than a century, brain and behavioral …

Asymmetry of the brain and behaviour (lateralization) has traditionally been considered
unique to humans. However, research has shown that this phenomenon is widespread …

Lateralization in the Nervous System reviews various aspects of lateralization in the nervous
system, with emphasis on approaches such as the investigation of turning tendencies and …

Genetic and environmental factors control morphological and functional differences between
the two sides of the nervous system. Neural asymmetries are proposed to have important …

Hemispheric asymmetries play an important role in almost all cognitive functions. For more
than a century, they were considered to be uniquely human but now an increasing number …

Cerebral Lateralization in Nonhuman Species explores brain asymmetries in animals and
the extent to which such asymmetries relate, in an evolutionary and clinical sense, to the …

In the vast clade of animals known as the bilateria, cerebral and behavioral asymmetries
emerge against the backdrop of bilateral symmetry, with a functional trade-off between the …

In recent years, it has become apparent that behavioural and brain lateralization at the
population level is the rule rather than the exception among vertebrates. The study of these …
