The second edition of The Lateralized Brain: The Neuroscience and Evolution of Hemispheric Asymmetries provides for readers a volume detailing the functional and structural differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, highlighting how the widespread use of modern neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and DTI have completely changed the way hemispheric asymmetries are currently investigated.In this new edition, all chapters have been updated with recent advances in the field, and a new chapter on hemispheric asymmetries in development and aging has been integrated. Also featured is a new, larger section on laterality in social behavior, alongside a comprehensive overview about key topics in laterality research, including its history, evolutionary perspectives, brain structure, and the role of the corpus callosum. Chapters cover functional hemispheric asymmetries in language processing, motor behavior, spatial attention, self- and face-perception, emotion processing, and social behavior. Additional topics include the ontogenesis of hemispheric asymmetries and their development over the life span, as well as sex differences and associations with clinical syndromes. This volume can be used by anyone working on hemispheric biology or in courses on hemispheric asymmetries.

The Clinical Neuroscience of Lateralization gives the first comprehensive transdiagnostic overview of the evidence for changes in hemispheric asymmetries in different psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Taking a multidisciplinary perspective informed by both basic science and clinical studies, the authors integrate recent breakthroughs on hemispheric asymmetries in psychology, neuroscience, genetics and comparative research. They give a general introduction to hemispheric asymmetries and the techniques used to assess them, and review the evidence for changes in hemispheric asymmetries in different psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. The book also discusses neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis and highlights the importance of open science in clinical laterality research.

Offering a fresh perspective on a longstanding issue in clinical neuroscience, this book will be of great interest for academics, researchers, and students in the fields of clinical and developmental neuroscience, biopsychology and neuropsychology.

This Springer essential aims to present the various research branches on the topic of hugging and to unite them in a multidisciplinary perspective. Hugs are an important part of close social relationships and, according to current research, can positively contribute to mental and physical health. The research interest in the scientific exploration of hugging has increased significantly in various disciplines in recent years.

This Springer essential provides an overview of current research on the topic of left-handedness and brain asymmetries. In addition to basics of assessing left-handedness and brain asymmetries, it also explores their evolution, development, and their study in the animal kingdom. Other focal points include research on the relationship between left-handedness and cognitive functions, as well as the topic of handedness and sports. The essential is rounded off with a discussion on the topic of relearning handedness and a discourse on altered asymmetries in various patient groups.

Dieses essential gibt einen Überblick über Biomarker-Forschung in der Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie. Dabei werden die zentralen Biomarker und Methoden zur Erfassung von Biomarkern erläutert. Der Autor beleuchtet spezifisch relevante Biomarker für psychische Erkrankungen im Kontext der Arbeitswelt sowie Biomarker für psychische Belastungsfolgen der Arbeit wie Burn-out. Das essential endet mit einer praxisorientierten Erläuterung organisationaler und finanzieller Aspekte von biopsychologischer Forschung in der Arbeitswelt.
