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 asymmetries play an important role in almost all cognitive functions. For more
than a century, they were considered to be uniquely human but now an increasing number …

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 …

Left-right (LR) asymmetry of the brain is fundamental to its higher-order functions. The
Drosophila brain's asymmetrical body (AB) consists of a structural pair arborized from AB …

Vertebrate brains display physiological and anatomical left-right differences, which are
related to hemispheric dominances for specific functions. Functional lateralizations likely rely …

Quails were tested for leftward and rightward turning preferences in a detour task. When
facing a mirror located behind a barrier composed of vertical bars, quails showed a striking …

Asymmetries in the functional and structural organization of the nervous system are
widespread in the animal kingdom and especially characterize the human brain. Although …

In humans and many other animals, the two cerebral hemispheres are partly specialized for
different functions. However, knowledge about the neuronal basis of lateralization is mostly …

Left–right asymmetries in the nervous system (lateralisation) influence a broad range of
behaviours, from social responses to navigation and language. The role and pathways of …

Left–right differences in the structural and functional organization of the brain are
widespread in the animal kingdom and develop in close gene–environment interactions …
