According to a longstanding view, sex differences in cognitive abilities such as mental
rotation or verbal memory arise from sex differences in hemispheric asymmetry: males are …

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 …

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 4th Edition, is a revised and updated edition of the
landmark text focusing on the development of brain and behaviour during infancy …

Abstract fMRI studies increasingly examine functions and properties of non-primary areas of
human auditory cortex. However there is currently no standardized localization procedure to …

Color has been scientifically investigated by linking color appearance to colorimetric
measurements of the light that enters the eye. However, the main purpose of color …

Hemispheric specialization is a fundamental feature of human brain organization. However,
it is not yet clear to what extent the lateralization of specific cognitive processes may be …

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 …

Although the left and right hemispheres of our brains develop with a high degree of
symmetry at both the anatomical and functional levels, it has become clear that subtle …

In the 2010s, significant progress has been made in several key areas of laterality research,
including neuroimaging, genetics and comparative research. In the present article, we …

Directional hemispheric dominance has been established for numerous cognitive functions
in the human brain. Strong population biases with some functions favoring the left and …
