Disturbance of the brain lateralization is involved in human neurodevelopmental disorders with cognitive impairments, social deficits, and/or specific language impairments. Asymmetric development may be essential to the evolution of the brain in acquiring higher and/or more diverse functions. The purpose of this Special Issue on “Brain Asymmetry in Evolution” is to highlight morphological and functional lateralization of the brain in various species of mammals toward understanding the evolution of the brain.MedicinebicsscNeurosciencesbicsscoxyhemoglobin levelstate anxietytask performanceheart ratehumanasymmetrysex differenceMRIvolumetrycerebellumferretlateralizationside biasfishmethodological artefactssymmetrynon-human primateOld World monkeyevolutionevolutionary expansiongyrificationstructural asymmetrylanguage lateralitytopological data analysispersistent homologyMedicineNeurosciencesSawada Kazuhikoedt1301484Sawada KazuhikoothBOOK9910557373403321Brain Asymmetry in Evolution3025901UNINA
