The amygdala is a core structure in the neuronal network underlying emotion processing in
the vertebrate brain. Its structure and function have been extensively studied in both …

The brain is built with hemispheric asymmetries in structure and function to enable fast
neuronal processing. In neuroimaging studies, several mental disorders have been …

Left–right asymmetry is an important organizing feature of the healthy brain that may be
altered in schizophrenia, but most studies have used relatively small samples and …

The recent paper in PNAS by Johnston et al.(1),“Symmetry and simplicity spontaneously
