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 …

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 …

We review recent evidence for the hemispheric lateralization of attentional systems in the
human brain. There is abundant anatomical, neuroimaging, and neuromodulatory evidence …

Experimental and theoretical studies have tried to gain insights into the involvement of the
Temporal Parietal Junction (TPJ) in a broad range of cognitive functions like memory …

The human cerebral cortex is symmetrically organized along large-scale axes but also
presents inter-hemispheric differences in structure and function. The quantified contralateral …

Humans represent numbers on a mental number line with smaller numbers on the left and
larger numbers on the right side. A left‐to‐right oriented spatial–numerical …

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 …

The study of emotional functioning is of crucial importance for improving the welfare of
domestic animals. The investigation of animal emotions is mainly based on the outcomes of …

It is widely acknowledged that the left and right hemispheres of human brains display both
anatomical and functional asymmetries. For more than a century, brain and behavioral …

Evidence is discussed about the use of geometric information for spatial orientation and the
association between space and numbers in non-human animals. A variety of vertebrate …
