The past decade has witnessed exponentially growing interest in the lateral habenula (LHb)
owing to new discoveries relating to its critical role in regulating negatively motivated …

The brains of humans and other animals are asymmetrically organized, but we still know
little about the ontogenetic and neural fundaments of lateralizations. Here, we review the …

Hemispheric asymmetry is a cardinal feature of human brain organization. Altered brain
asymmetry has also been linked to some cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, the …

Handedness and brain asymmetry are widely regarded as unique to humans, and
associated with complementary functions such as a left-brain specialization for language …

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 …

Hemispheric specialization (HS) is a hemisphere-dependent relationship between a
cognitive, sensory, or motor function and a set of brain structures. It includes both the hosting …

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 …

Vertebrates exhibit striking left–right (L–R) asymmetries in the structure and position of the
internal organs. Symmetry is broken by motile cilia-generated asymmetric fluid flow …

Our conscious perceptual experience relies on a hierarchical process involving integration
of low-level sensory encoding and higher-order sensory selection. 1 This hierarchical …

Left-Right (LR) asymmetry of the nervous system is widespread across animals and is
thought to be important for cognition and behaviour. But in contrast to visceral organ …
