Background Functional lateralization is a conserved feature of the central nervous system
(CNS). However, underlying left-right asymmetries within neural circuitry and the …

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 …

How does left‐right asymmetry develop in the brain and how does the resultant asymmetric
circuitry impact on brain function and lateralized behaviors? By enabling scientists to …

The recent paper in PNAS by Johnston et al.(1),“Symmetry and simplicity spontaneously
emerge from the algorithmic nature of evolution,” is focused on how symmetry and …

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 …

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 …

The human brain is often characterized in terms of a duality, with the left and right brains
serving complementary functions, and even individuals are sometimes classified as either …

For almost a century the field of brain and behavioural asymmetries has been dominated by
studies on humans, resting on the evidence that the anatomical structures underlying …

Although the left and right hemispheres of our brains develop with a high degree of
symmetry at both the anatomical and functional levels, it has become clear that subtle …

Despite the substantial literature on the functional architecture of the asymmetries of the
human brain, which has been accumulating for more than 130 years since Dax and Broca's …
