Abstract:
Brain asymmetry has been observed in animals and humans structurally, functionally, and behaviorally. This lateralization is thought to originate from evolutionary, hereditary, developmental, experiential and pathological factors. This paper reviews the diverse literature describing brain asymmetry, focusing primarily on those observations characterizing anatomical differences between the hemispheres.
