Journal Article
Hirnstein, M., Hausmann, M., & Güntürkün, O. (2008). The evolutionary origins of functional cerebral asymmetries in humans: Does lateralization enhance parallel processing?. Behavioural Brain Research, 187(2), 297-303. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2007.09.023

Functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs) are a fundamental principle of brain organization in many species. However, little is known about why they have evolved. Since FCAs are such a widespread phenomenon they seem to constitute an evolutionary select...
