Once considered a uniquely human attribute, brain asymmetry has been proved to be
ubiquitous among non‐human animals. A synthetic review of evidence of animal …

Why do the left and right sides of the vertebrate brain play different functions? Having a
lateralized brain, in which each hemisphere carries out different functions, is ubiquitous …

Long-term functional deficits after a brain injury are difficult to assess in the mouse. If no
deficit is observed, researchers could conclude either that the animal has fully recovered or …

Dogs are one of the key animal species in investigating the biological mechanisms of
behavioral laterality. Cerebral asymmetries are assumed to be influenced by stress, but this …

While viewing faces, human adults often demonstrate a natural gaze bias towards the left
visual field, that is, the right side of the viewee's face is often inspected first and for longer …

The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of a naturalistic stressor,
examination stress, on frontal EEG asymmetry, psychological stress, hormonal stress, and …

This book traces the evolution of the dog, from its origins about 15,000 years ago up to
recent times. The timing of dog domestication receives attention, with comparisons between …

There is considerable debate about whether population-level asymmetries in limb
preferences are uniquely human or are a common feature among vertebrates. In the present …

Our goal in this chapter is to provide a concise introduction to the study of left–right
asymmetries in brain and behavior from a comparative perspective. We consider evidence …

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 …
