Recent large-scale neuroimaging studies suggest that most parts of the human brain show
structural differences between the left and the right hemisphere. Such structural hemispheric …

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 …

The behavioral preference for the use of one side of the body starts from pre-natal life and
prompt humans to develop motor asymmetries. The type of motor task completed influences …

In humans, behavioral laterality and hemispheric asymmetries are part of a complex
biobehavioral system in which genetic factors have been repeatedly proposed as …

Until the 1990s, the notion of brain lateralization—the division of labor between the two
hemispheres—and its more visible behavioral manifestation, handedness, remained fiercely …

Abstract About 66–72% of human mothers cradle their infants on their left side. Given that
left-cradling exposes the baby's face to the mother's left visual field (ie, mainly projected to …

Evolution has endowed vertebrates with a divided brain that allows for processing of critical
survival behaviours in parallel. Most humans possess a standard functional brain …

Although the population-level preference for the use of the right hand is the clearest
example of behavioral lateralization, it represents only the best-known instance of a variety …

The left-cradling bias (LCB) refers to the (typically female) preference to hold an infant on the
left side of one's own body. Among the three main accounts proposed for such a …

Visual field biases have been identified as markers of atypical lateralization in children with
developmental conditions, but this is the first investigation to consider early lateralized gaze …
