Traditionally, only humans were thought to exhibit brain and behavioral asymmetries, but
several studies have revealed that most vertebrates are also lateralized. Recently, evidence …

Behavioral lateralization is widespread across the animals, being found in numerous
vertebrate species as well as in species from across many invertebrate phyla. Numerous …

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

Evidence of left–right asymmetries in invertebrates has begun to emerge, suggesting that
lateralization of the nervous system may be a feature of simpler brains as well as more …

Despite their gross morphological symmetry, animal nervous systems can perceive and
process information in a left/right asymmetric manner. How left/right asymmetric functional …

Although the overall architecture of the nervous system of most animals shows a large
degree of bilateral symmetry, there are striking patterns of left–right (L–R) asymmetry in the …

Left-right asymmetries are most likely a universal feature of bilaterian nervous systems and
may serve to increase neural capacity by specializing equivalent structures on left and right …

Brain asymmetries are thought to increase neural processing capacity and to prevent
interhemispheric conflict. In order to develop asymmetrically, neurons must be specified …

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 …

Brain and behavioural lateralization at the population level has been recently hypothesized
to have evolved under social selective pressures as a strategy to optimize coordination …
