Laterality

Aims & Scope

Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition publishes high quality research on all aspects of lateralisation in humans and non-human species.

Laterality"s principal interest is in the psychological, behavioural and neurological correlates of lateralisation.

The editors will also consider accessible papers from any discipline which can illuminate the general problems of the evolution of biological and neural asymmetry, papers on the cultural, linguistic, artistic and social consequences of lateral asymmetry, and papers on its historical origins and development.

The interests of workers in laterality are typically broad.
