A new roadmap for Laterality: Asymmetries of brain, behaviour, and cognition

Abstract

<p>In the inaugural (1996) issue of <i>Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition</i>, the founding editors – Phil Bryden, Michael Corballis, and Chris McManus – laid out the need for a journal that brought together work from diverse disciplines to create better understanding of the causes, correlates, and consequences of our asymmetric brains. As the journal enters its 25th year, we are still committed to publishing high quality research on lateral asymmetry, drawing from such diverse domains(amongst others) as experimental psychology, animal behaviour, cognitive neuroscience, linguistics, genetics, developmental sciences, kinesiology, anthropology, sport science, and the visual arts. Although journals exist that specialize in each of these areas, <i>Laterality</i> remains an interdisciplinary forum in which multiple perspectives and methodologies come together to address our shared research questions.</p>
