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.MedicinebicsscNeurosciencesbicsscSilbo Gomerowhistle languagecerebral lateralizationbrain asymmetrydichotic listening tasksitus inversusheterotaxyvisceral asymmetryvertebrate asymmetryhuman lateralityleft-right differentiationbrain torqueciliopathyparrotsfootednessbrain massbody massnidopalliumoptic tectumoptic tectaWulstlateral asymmetryfinite element methodelectrical field potentialdipole momentpowerEEGbilateriacerebral asymmetryhandednesslanguagemolecular asymmetrysitusprimary auditory cortex (A1)Doppler-shifted constant frequency (DSCF)mustached batsex differencesamplitudespectraltemporalhemispheric specializationsocial communicationfrequency modulation (FM)neurodevelopmentGWASheritabilityquantitative traitpolygenic scoresavian brainbrain asymmetrieshemispheric lateralizationontogenyepigeneticneuronal plasticityvisual systemcerebral polymorphismscerebral dominanceDC modelgeneticspolygenic modelbilateral languagefunctional moduleslanguage evolutionlateralizationMRIbaboondevelopmentlanguage areasneurosciencebrainasymmetrylateralityfunctional hemispheric asymmetriesstructural hemispheric asymmetriestheoretical modelsMedicineNeurosciencesOcklenburg Sebastianedt873739Güntürkün OnuredtOcklenburg SebastianothGüntürkün OnurothBOOK9910576882203321Cognitive and Neurophysiological Models of Brain Asymmetry3025393UNINA
