Perfect imperfections: seeking molecular and cellular asymmetries in the mouse brain

Abstract excerpt

Although perfect symmetry is a mathematical ideal, many Bilateria exhibit left-right asymmetries of body, brain and behavior that are adaptive 1-3 . In the human brain, various aspects of cognition are lateralized, including language 4 and handedness 5 , which rely on left hemisphere dominance in most people. Brain hemispheric specialization can support parallel processing, neural efficiency, and action selecti...
