Space availability influence laterality in donkeys (Equus asinus)

P Zucca, F Cerri, A Carluccio, L Baciadonna - Behavioural processes, 2011 - Elsevier

hemispheres. Several factors, like embryological manipulations, light exposure, health …

Origins of asymmetry in the CNS

RJ Andrew - Seminars in cell & developmental biology, 2009 - Elsevier
Vertebrate ancestors had extreme asymmetry of the CNS, largely imposed by bodily
asymmetry. In the zebrafish a key asymmetry is that of the habenulae. Their major outflow on …

Two distinct types of neuronal asymmetries are controlled by the Caenorhabditis elegans zinc finger transcription factor die-1

Left/right asymmetric features of animals are either randomly distributed on either the left or
right side within a population (“antisymmetries”) or found stereotypically on one particular …

Left–right dissociation of hippocampal memory processes in mice

OA Shipton, M El-Gaby… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
Left–right asymmetries have likely evolved to make optimal use of bilaterian nervous
systems; however, little is known about the synaptic and circuit mechanisms that support …

Left-right patterning: conserved and divergent mechanisms

T Nakamura, H Hamada - Development, 2012 - journals.biologists.com
The left-right (LR) asymmetry of visceral organs is fundamental to their function and position
within the body. Over the past decade or so, the molecular mechanisms underlying the …

Is the early left‐right axis like a plant, a kidney, or a neuron? The integration of physiological signals in embryonic asymmetry

M Levin - Birth Defects Research Part C: Embryo Today …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Embryonic morphogenesis occurs along three orthogonal axes. While the patterning of the
anterior‐posterior and dorsal‐ventral axes has been increasingly well‐characterized, the left …

Early differences in epithalamic left–right asymmetry influence lateralization and personality of adult zebrafish

M Dadda, A Domenichini, L Piffer, F Argenton… - Behavioural brain …, 2010 - Elsevier
The habenulae are part of an evolutionary conserved conduction system that connects the
limbic forebrain areas with midbrain structures and is implicated in important functions such …

Nodal signalling imposes left-right asymmetry upon neurogenesis in the habenular nuclei

M Roussigné, IH Bianco, SW Wilson, P Blader - 2009 - journals.biologists.com
The habenulae are evolutionarily conserved bilateral nuclei in the epithalamus that relay
input from the forebrain to the ventral midbrain. In zebrafish, the habenulae display left-right …

Laterotopic representation of left-right information onto the dorso-ventral axis of a zebrafish midbrain target nucleus

H Aizawa, IH Bianco, T Hamaoka, T Miyashita… - Current Biology, 2005 - cell.com
The habenulae are part of an evolutionarily highly conserved limbic-system conduction
pathway that connects telencephalic nuclei to the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) of the …

Proteomics reveal rat hippocampal lateral asymmetry

A Samara, K Vougas, A Papadopoulou… - …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Brain laterality has been observed in animals and humans structurally, functionally, and
behaviorally. MRI and CT scans have revealed pathological and normal brain asymmetry. A …
