摘要

A fundamental aspect of the nervous system is lateralization in structure and function. Historically, many argued that population-level behavioral and brain asymmetries were uniquely human but this claim has been clearly challenged by research with nonhuman animals in the past 50 years. Advances in the comparative study of lateralization in the brain have been significantly enhanced by the advent of noninvasive imaging technologies. In this chapter, we describe the use of noninvasive imaging with nonhuman primates and some of the results derived from these different methodologies.
