Research on a growing number of vertebrate species has shown that the left and right sides
of the brain process information in different ways and that lateralized brain function is …

Each individual cetacean is an ecosystem itself, potentially harboring a great variety of
animals that travel with it. Despite being often despised or overlooked, many of these …

The majority of cetacean research suggests a right side/left cerebral hemisphere bias for
processing visuospatial information and a left side/right cerebral hemisphere bias for …

The traditional view of cognition as detached from emotions is recently being questioned.
This study aimed to investigate the influence of emotional valence on the accuracy and bias …

A large part of the literature on sensory perception and behavior in dolphins is devoted to its

We investigated surface feeding behaviors of Eden's whales (Balaenoptera edeni edeni) in
northern Beibu Gulf, southern China, between April 3, 2018, and April 26, 2021. During 122 …

To construct a coherent multi-modal percept, vertebrate brains extract low-level features
(such as spatial and temporal frequencies) from incoming sensory signals. However …

Laterality has been reported in many vertebrates, and asymmetrical cerebral hemisphere
function has been hypothesized to cause a left-bias in social behavior and a right-bias in …

Simple Summary Nursing in large baleen whales and specifically the humpback whale is
not well documented and difficult to capture in real time. Using underwater video …

Brain enlargement is associated with concomitant growth of interneuronal distance,
increased conduction time, and reduced neuronal interconnectivity. Recognition of these …
