The Caspian Hare Posted April 25, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2017 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/04/170419131801.htm Most left-handers can rattle off a list of their eminent comrades-in-arms: Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, and Barack Obama, just to name three, but they may want to add on cockatoos, "southpaw" squirrels, and some house cats. "Handed-ness" or left-right asymmetry is prevalent throughout the animal kingdom, including in pigeons and zebrafish. But why do people and animals naturally favor one side over the other, and what does it teach us about the brain's inner workings? Researchers explore these questions in a Review published April 19 in Neuron. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
