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 …

Birds are excellent model organisms to study perceptual categorization and concept
formation. The renewed focus on avian neuroscience has sparked an explosion of new data …

Current research into the evolution and adaptive function of avian eggshell pigmentation,
including maculation, has focused mostly on signalling‐based and structural function …

Despite several decades of research, the epigenesis of behavioural and brain lateralization
is still elusive, although its knowledge is important in understanding developmental …

Historically, grief and spirituality have been jealously guarded as uniquely human
experiences. Although non-human animal grief has been acknowledged in recent times, its …

Environmental stimuli present during incubation can impact the behavior of birds post-hatch.
To determine the effect of exposing broiler chicken embryos to light on fear-related behavior …

Light stimulation during incubation can affect the behavior, health, and performance of
poultry posthatch. However, there has been relatively little work systematically assessing the …

Light has a significant impact on many aspects of avian biology, physiology and behaviour.
An increasing number of studies show that illumination may positively influences birds' …
