Hemispheric asymmetries represent one of the major organizational principles in vertebrate
neurobiology, but their molecular determinants are not well understood. For handedness …

Cumulative technological culture (CTC) refers to the increase in the efficiency and
complexity of tools and techniques in human populations over generations. A fascinating …

INTRODUCTION Tool use is a hallmark of human evolution. Beyond its sensorimotor
components, the complexity of which has been extensively investigated, tool use affects …

Population-level lateralization in structure and function is a fundamental measure of the
human nervous system. To what extent nonhuman primates exhibit similar patterns of …

In the vast clade of animals known as the bilateria, cerebral and behavioral asymmetries
emerge against the backdrop of bilateral symmetry, with a functional trade-off between the …

Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of developmental disorders of the
nervous system. Since the core cause of many of the symptoms of autism spectrum disorder …

In this paper, we examine the role of materiality in human cognition. We address issues such
as the ways in which brain functions may change in response to interactions with material …

Brain computer interface (BCI)-based training is promising for the treatment of stroke
patients with upper limb (UL) paralysis. However, most stroke patients receive …

Chimpanzees are among the closest living relatives to humans and, as such, provide a
crucial comparative model for investigating primate brain evolution. In recent years, human …

The inferior parietal lobule (IPL) is one of the most expanded cortical regions in humans
relative to other primates. It is also among the most structurally and functionally asymmetric …
