Simple Summary We used to think of brains as symmetrical, functioning in the same way on
the left and right sides, but we now know that this is not so. From the small brains of insects …

Why do the left and right sides of the brain have different functions? Having a lateralized
brain, in which each hemisphere processes sensory inputs differently and carries out …

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 …

Behavioral lateralization is widespread across the animals, being found in numerous
vertebrate species as well as in species from across many invertebrate phyla. Numerous …

The right hemisphere plays a crucial role in social processing. Human mothers show a
robust left cradling/holding bias providing greater right-hemispheric involvement in the …

Animals frequently encounter situations in which they can choose to move either left or right.
Consistent preferences to move a specific direction may be associated with lateralization, or …

Abstract Theory predicts that social interactions can induce an alignment of behavioral
asymmetries between individuals (ie, population-level lateralization), but evidence for this …

Animals can show bias in their use of laterally paired organs that do not have any
conspicuous anatomical differentiation between the right and left organs. Like right …

The formation of memories within the vertebrate brain is lateralized between hemispheres
across multiple modalities. However, in invertebrates evidence for lateralization is restricted …

The interaction of antlions and ants is postulated to be a predator-prey interaction in which
the involved parties coevolve. Here, we investigated two issues of potential significance in …
