Possible evolutionary origins of cognitive brain lateralization.

Despite the substantial literature on the functional architecture of the asymmetries of the human brain, which has been accumulating for more than 130 years since Dax and Broca's early reports, the biological foundations of cerebral asymmetries are still poorly understood. Recent advances in comparative cognitive neurosciences have made available new animal models that have started to provide u...

Doctorial dissertation from the Department of Psychology, Umeå University, SE-90187, Umeå, Sweden: ISBN 91-7264-166-5 In this thesis lateralization of olfactory functions was investigated by both behavioral and electrophysiological assessment, the latter with the olfactory event-related potential ...

Lateralization of Cognitive Functions in Aphasia after Right Brain Damage

PURPOSE The lateralization of cognitive functions in crossed aphasia in dextrals (CAD) has been explored and compared mainly with cases of aphasia with left hemisphere damage. However, comparing the neuropsychological aspects of CAD and aphasia after right brain damage in left-handers (ARL) could potentially provide more insights into the effect of a shift in the laterality of handedness or lan...
