Lateralized Brain Functions: Methods in Human and Non-human Species

Abstract

<p>This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with updates on the latest techniques used to study brain and behavioral laterality in both human and non-human animals. The chapters in this book cover numerous topics such as methods of measuring lateralization in a range of species by scoring behavior elicited by inputs to one of both brain hemispheres; behavioral methods to study motor preferences and lateralization in invertebrates; neurological methods to reveal lateralization; imaging and electrocephalographic techniques and transcranial stimulation; and new genetic approaches to studying lateralization in humans and zebrafish, and the roles of genes in the establishment and development of brain asymmetry. In the <i>Neuromethods</i> series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.</p> <p>Cutting-edge and authoritative, <i>Lateralized Brain Function: Methods in Human and Non-Human Species, Second Edition</i> is a valuable resource for further research on brain and behavioral asymmetries in human and non-human species. This book will provide both expert and novel researchers with answers to their questions, while also encouraging vital collaborations.</p>
