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. 606 $aMedicine and Nursing$2bicssc 606 $aNeurosciences$2bicssc 610 $aamplitude 610 $aasymmetry 610 $aavian brain 610 $ababoon 610 $abilateral language 610 $abilateria 610 $abody mass 610 $abrain 610 $abrain asymmetries 610 $abrain asymmetry 610 $abrain mass 610 $abrain torque 610 $acerebral asymmetry 610 $acerebral dominance 610 $acerebral lateralization 610 $acerebral polymorphisms 610 $aciliopathy 610 $aDC model 610 $adevelopment 610 $adichotic listening task 610 $adipole moment 610 $aDoppler-shifted constant frequency (DSCF) 610 $aEEG 610 $aelectrical field potential 610 $aepigenetic 610 $afinite element method 610 $afootedness 610 $afrequency modulation (FM) 610 $afunctional hemispheric asymmetries 610 $afunctional modules 610 $agenetics 610 $aGWAS 610 $ahandedness 610 $ahemispheric lateralization 610 $ahemispheric specialization 610 $aheritability 610 $aheterotaxy 610 $ahuman laterality 610 $alanguage 610 $alanguage areas 610 $alanguage evolution 610 $alateral asymmetry 610 $alaterality 610 $alateralization 610 $aleft-right differentiation 610 $amolecular asymmetry 610 $aMRI 610 $amustached bat 610 $aneurodevelopment 610 $aneuronal plasticity 610 $aneuroscience 610 $anidopallium 610 $aontogeny 610 $aoptic tecta 610 $aoptic tectum 610 $aparrots 610 $apolygenic model 610 $apolygenic scores 610 $apower 610 $aprimary auditory cortex (A1) 610 $aquantitative trait 610 $asex differences 610 $aSilbo Gomero 610 $asitus 610 $asitus inversus 610 $asocial communication 610 $aspectral 610 $astructural hemispheric asymmetries 610 $atemporal 610 $atheoretical models 610 $avertebrate asymmetry 610 $avisceral asymmetry 610 $avisual system 610 $awhistle language 610 $aWulst 615 7$aMedicine and Nursing 615 7$aNeurosciences 700 $aOcklenburg$b Sebastian$4edt$0873739 702 $aGüntürkün$b Onur$4edt 702 $aOcklenburg$b Sebastian$4oth 702 $aGüntürkün$b Onur$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910576882203321 996 $aCognitive and Neurophysiological Models of Brain Asymmetry$93025393 997 $aUNINA
