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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Laterality, best understood as asymmetries of bilateral structures or biases in behaviour, has
been demonstrated in species from all major vertebrate classes, and in many invertebrates …

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 …

Genetic and environmental factors control morphological and functional differences between
the two sides of the nervous system. Neural asymmetries are proposed to have important …

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 …

The mechanisms that establish behavioral, cognitive, and neuroanatomical asymmetries are
poorly understood. In this study, we analyze the events that regulate development of …

How the brain becomes lateralized is poorly understood. By contrast, much is known about
molecular cues that specify the left–right axis of the body, fashioning the asymmetric …
