Why? I submit that as a field, we are still under the spell of split-brain research, leading us to focus a bit too enthusiastically on hemispheric differences rather than commonalities. Split-brain ...

Behavioral lateralization, the preferential use of one side of the body and its corresponding brain hemisphere, is a pervasive aspect of vertebrate neurobiology. This phenomenon, which manifests in ...

Lateralization of the brain—the tendency for the left and right hemispheres to specialize in different functions—underlies the development of a left-to-right mental number line, according to a study ...

Lateralization of the brain – the tendency for the left and right hemispheres to specialize in different functions – underlies the development of a left-to-right mental number line, according to a ...

How did a surgery designed to treat epilepsy end up challenging the very idea of free will? This video explores the split-brain experiments, their astonishing results, and what they mean for our ...

There’s a popular idea that our brains have two sides with two roles. The left side of the brain is analytical and concerned with facts and figures, whereas the right side of the brain is creative, ...

How ancient is brain lateralization? / G. Vallortigara and A. Bisazza -- The earliest origins and subsequent evolution of lateralization / R.J. Andrew -- The nature of lateralization in tetrapods / ...

A new study has found that a chick’s ability to mentally organize numbers along a line from left to right is not learned but is instead a direct result of brain specialization that occurs before ...
