No longer viewed as a characteristic unique to humans, brain lateralization is considered a
key property of most, if not all, vertebrates. This field of study provides a firm basis from …

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 …

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

Since the discovery of brain asymmetry in a wide range of vertebrate species, it has become
possible to study development and expression of lateralized behavior accurately in well …

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 …

This chapter will focus on two general principles. Using the rat as the model subject, we will
document that (1) there is brain lateralization for a number of behavioral functions, and (2) …

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 …

Simple Summary We used to think of brains as symmetrical, functioning in the same way on
the left and right sides, but we now know that this is not so. From the small brains of insects …

The second edition of The Lateralized Brain provides for readers a volume detailing the
functional and structural differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain …

Brain lateralization is common among vertebrates. However, despite its implications for
higher–order cognitive functions, almost no empirical evidence has been provided to show …
