Brain asymmetry underlies the organization of several cognitive systems, such as emotion, communication, and spatial processing. Despite this ubiquity of asymmetries in the vertebrate brain, we are only beginning to understand the complex neuronal mechanisms underlying the interaction between hemispheric asymmetries and cognitive systems. Unfortunately, despite the vast number of empirical studies on brain asymmetries, theoretical models that aim to provide mechanistic explanations of hemispheric asymmetries are sparse in the field. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to highlight empirically based mechanistic models of brain asymmetry. Overall, six theoretical and four empirical articles were published in the Special Issue, covering a wide range of topics, from human handedness to auditory laterality in bats. Two key challenges for theoretical models of brain asymmetry are the integration of increasingly complex molecular data into testable models, and the creation of theoretical models that are robust and testable across different species.Medicine and NursingbicsscNeurosciencesbicsscamplitudeasymmetryavian brainbaboonbilateral languagebilateriabody massbrainbrain asymmetriesbrain asymmetrybrain massbrain torquecerebral asymmetrycerebral dominancecerebral lateralizationcerebral polymorphismsciliopathyDC modeldevelopmentdichotic listening taskdipole momentDoppler-shifted constant frequency (DSCF)EEGelectrical field potentialepigeneticfinite element methodfootednessfrequency modulation (FM)functional hemispheric asymmetriesfunctional modulesgeneticsGWAShandednesshemispheric lateralizationhemispheric specializationheritabilityheterotaxyhuman lateralitylanguagelanguage areaslanguage evolutionlateral asymmetrylateralitylateralizationleft-right differentiationmolecular asymmetryMRImustached batneurodevelopmentneuronal plasticityneurosciencenidopalliumontogenyoptic tectaoptic tectumparrotspolygenic modelpolygenic scorespowerprimary auditory cortex (A1)quantitative traitsex differencesSilbo Gomerositussitus inversussocial communicationspectralstructural hemispheric asymmetriestemporaltheoretical modelsvertebrate asymmetryvisceral asymmetryvisual systemwhistle languageWulstMedicine and NursingNeurosciencesOcklenburg Sebastianedt873739Güntürkün OnuredtOcklenburg SebastianothGüntürkün OnurothBOOK9910576882203321Cognitive and Neurophysiological Models of Brain Asymmetry3025393UNINA
