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 …

Birds are excellent model organisms to study perceptual categorization and concept
formation. The renewed focus on avian neuroscience has sparked an explosion of new data …

Recent advances in ultrasound Doppler imaging have facilitated the technique of functional
ultrasound (fUS) which enables visualization of brain-activity due to neurovascular coupling …

Since the ground-breaking discovery that in-egg light exposure triggers the emergence of
visual lateralisation, domestic chicks became a crucial model for research on the interaction …

Innate behavioral biases such as human handedness are a ubiquitous form of inter-
individual variation that are not strictly hardwired into the genome and are influenced by …

We know a good deal about brain lateralization in birds and a good deal about animal
welfare, but relatively little about whether there is a noteworthy relationship between avian …

The discovery of the role of light exposure for the development of lateralization in domestic
chick embryos revolutionized this research field. However, two main issues remain …

The dominance of one hemisphere for cognitive operations and decision making may be an
efficient mechanism solving interhemispheric conflicts. To understand the ecological …
