Experiments on domestic chicks shed light on the links between brain lateralization and the left-to-right mental number line.

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 ...

A study in newborn chicks shows that brain lateralisation is essential for the development of a left-to-right mental number line.

A study by the HSE Centre for Language and Brain has confirmed the role of the corpus callosum in language lateralization, ie the distribution of language processing functions between the brain's ...

Behavioural lateralization is widespread. Yet, a fundamental question remains, how can lateralization be evolutionary stable when individuals lateralized in one direction often significantly outnumber ...
