- Summary:
- This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with updates on the latest techniques used to study brain and behavioral laterality in both human and non-human animals. The chapters in this book cover numerous topics such as methods of measuring lateralization in a range of species by scoring behavior elicited by inputs to one of both brain hemispheres; behavioral methods to study motor preferences and lateralization in invertebrates; neurological methods to reveal lateralization; imaging and electrocephalographic techniques and transcranial stimulation; and new genetic approaches to studying lateralization in humans and zebrafish, and the roles of genes in the establishment and development of brain asymmetry. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Cutting-edge and authoritative, Lateralized Brain Function: Methods in Human and Non-Human Species, Second Edition is a valuable resource for further research on brain and behavioral asymmetries in human and non-human species. This book will provide both expert and novel researchers with answers to their questions, while also encouraging vital collaborations.
