Comparative studies on brain asymmetry date back to the 19th century but then largely
disappeared due to the assumption that lateralization is uniquely human. Since the …

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 …

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 …

The “mental number line”(MNL) is a form of spatial numeric representation that associates
small and large numbers with the left and right spaces, respectively. This spatio-numeric …

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 …

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 …

Asymmetry of brain function is known to be widespread amongst vertebrates, and it seems to
have appeared very early in their evolution. In fact, recent evidence of functional asymmetry …

Exposure to neonicotinoid pesticides is considered one of the possible causes of honeybee
(Apis mellifera) population decline. At sublethal doses, these chemicals have been shown to …

Behavioral lateralization is widespread across the animals, being found in numerous
vertebrate species as well as in species from across many invertebrate phyla. Numerous …

The effect of previous exposure to lateral sensory stimuli in shaping the response to
subsequent symmetric stimuli represents an important overlooked issue in neuroethology …
