Contents:
Section 1: Behavioral biases in animals. Insights into the evolution of laterality in insects -- Motor asymmetries in fish, amphibians and reptiles -- A review of performance asymmetries in hand skill in nonhuman primates with a special emphasis on chimpanzees -- Manual bias, behavior, and cognition in common marmosets and other primates -- Mother and offspring lateralized social behavior across mammalian species -- Section 2: Behavioral biases in humans. Speech lateralization and motor control -- Mother and offspring lateralised social interaction across animal species -- Handedness and cognitive ability: using meta-analysis to make sense of the data -- Atypical structural and functional motor networks in autism -- Lateralization of the expression of facial emotion in humans -- Split brain patients: visual biases for faces -- Section 3: Methodological considerations. Manual laterality and cognition through evolution: an archeological perspective -- Cognitive archeology, body cognition, and hand-tool interaction -- Evolution and development of handedness: an Evo-Devo approach -- Section 4: Cerebral lateralization and behavioral biases as a foundation for higher cognitive function. A comparative perspective on lateral biases and social behavior -- Sensorimotor lateralization scaffolds cognitive specialization.
Summary: Cerebral Lateralization and Cognition: Evolutionary and Developmental Investigations of Motor Biases, Volume 238, the latest release in the Progress in Brain Research series, discusses interdisciplinary research on the influence of cerebral lateralization on cognition within an evolutionary framework. Chapters of note in this release include Evolutionary Perspectives: Visual/Motor Biases and Cognition, Manual laterality and cognition through evolution: An archeological perspective, Laterality in insects, Motor asymmetries in fish, amphibians and reptiles, Visual biases and social cognition in animals, Mother and offspring lateralized social interaction across animal species, Manual bias, personality and cognition in common marmosets and other primates, and more.
