Beskrivning

This volume explores both simple and sophisticated techniques used in the study of different types of lateralization of brain and behavior. Part II covers neurobiological methods used to reveal lateralization, such as lesion studies, electrophysiology and pharmacology, early gene expression, and new optogenetic methods.

Recensioner i media

“The editors Lesley Rogers and Giorgio Vallortigara aimed to provide, ‘in one volume’ as they emphasize, a comprehensive collection of the various laterality assessment techniques that exist in various species. … I wholeheartedly recommend it for both newcomers and the more experienced who seek to expand their horizon with new methods.” (Marco Hirnstein, Laterality Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, August, 2017)
