Maternal cradling bias drives early handedness in infant monkeys: A longitudinal study of grasping lateralization in baboons

2021-03-09

Abstract excerpt

The most emblematic behavioral manifestation of human brain asymmetries is handedness. While the precise mechanisms behind the development of handedness are still widely debated, empirical evidences highlight that besides genetic factors, environmental factors may play a crucial role. As one of these factors, maternal cradling behavior may play a key role in the emergence of early handedness in the offspring. In t...
