Brain and behavioral lateralization in invertebrates
Traditionally, only humans were thought to exhibit brain and behavioral asymmetries, but several studies have revealed that most vertebrates are also lateralized. Recently, evidence of left-right asymmetries in invertebrates has begun to emerge, suggesting that lateralization of the nervous system may be a feature of simpler brains as well as more complex ones. Here I present some examples in i...

متن کاملBrain Injury and Cerebral Lateralization
Life span studies1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 have shown that the population percentage of left-handers diminishes steadily, so that they are drastically underrepresented in the oldest age groups. This population trend suggests the reduced longevity of left-handers9. Coren and Halpern (1991) suggest that some of the elevated risk for left-handers is apparently due to environmental factors that elevate their...
متن کاملNeocortical synaptophysin asymmetry and behavioral lateralization in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes).
Although behavioral lateralization is known to correlate with certain aspects of brain asymmetry in primates, there are limited data concerning hemispheric biases in the microstructure of the neocortex. In the present study, we investigated whether there is asymmetry in synaptophysin-immunoreactive puncta density and protein expression levels in the region of hand representation of the primary ...
متن کاملBehavioral Lateralization and Optimal Route Choice in Flying Budgerigars
Birds flying through a cluttered environment require the ability to choose routes that will take them through the environment safely and quickly. We have investigated some of the strategies by which they achieve this. We trained budgerigars to fly through a tunnel in which they encountered a barrier that offered two passages, positioned side by side, at the halfway point. When one of the passag...
