BOOK
Asymmetry of the brain and behavior (lateralization) has
traditionally been considered unique to humans. However, research
has shown that this phenomenon is widespread throughout the
vertebrate kingdom and found even in some invertebrate species. A
similar basic plan of organization exists across vertebrates
Summarizing the evidence and highlighting research from the last
twenty years, the authors discuss lateralization from four
perspectives - function, evolution, development and causation
covering a wide range of animals, including humans. The evolution
of lateralization is traced from our earliest ancestors, through
fish and reptiles to birds and mammals. The benefits of having a
divided brain are discussed, as well as the influence of
experience on its development. A final chapter discusses
outstanding problems and areas for further investigation. Experts
in this field, the authors present the latest scientific
knowledge clearly and engagingly, making this a valuable tool for
anyone interested in the biology and behavior of brain
asymmetries
