Comparative studies on brain asymmetry date back to the 19th century but then largely
disappeared due to the assumption that lateralization is uniquely human. Since the …

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 …

Brains contain networks of interconnected neurons and so knowing the network architecture
is essential for understanding brain function. We therefore mapped the synaptic-resolution …

In the 2010s, significant progress has been made in several key areas of laterality research,
including neuroimaging, genetics and comparative research. In the present article, we …

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 …

Lateralization, ie, the different functional roles played by the left and right sides of the brain,
is expressed in two main ways:(1) in single individuals, regardless of a common direction …

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 …

Octopus' limb hyper-redundancy complicates traditional motor control system theory due to
its extensive sensory inputs, subsequent decision-making, and arm coordination. Octopuses …

Genetically identical individuals display variability in their physiology, morphology, and
behaviors, even when reared in essentially identical environments, but there is little …

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 …
