There’s a popular idea that our brains have two sides with two roles. The left side of the brain is analytical and concerned with facts and figures, whereas the right side of the brain is creative, ...

Lateralization of the brain – the tendency for the left and right hemispheres to specialize in different functions – underlies the development of a left-to-right mental number line, according to a ...

A new study in *Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience* finds that adolescents with higher intelligence scores develop specialized brain hemisphere functions more quickly than peers. This shift from ...

As I concluded my previous post [Sexing the brain (function, anatomy, and structure)], I felt fairly safe in saying that there are no sex differences in lateralization for perceptual asymmetries as ...

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 the development of a left-to-right mental number line, according to a study ...
