Abstract

In the last few decades, research on lateralization has expanded our knowledge about the manifestation, development, and mechanisms of this fascinating feature of nervous systems. This has been possible not only thanks to human studies, but to the use of animal models and the introduction of ground-breaking techniques within this research field. However, recent studies have also demonstrated how complex this phenomenon is and highlighted that we still lack a complete understanding of brain and behavioural asymmetries. Here, I comment on two of the challenges presented by Ocklenburg and colleagues that research on lateralization has to face in the next future. I argue that, in order to improve our understanding of lateralization, we have to consider it as a dynamic and plastic characteristic, which is strongly influenced by both internal factors, such as an animal's motivation and emotional states, and external factors, including the physical environment and the social context.

将侧化视为神经系统的动态和可塑性特征。
在过去的几十年里,对侧化的研究扩大了我们对神经系统这一迷人特征的表现、发展和机制的认识。这不仅要归功于人类研究,而且要归功于动物模型的使用和该研究领域突破性技术的引入。然而,最近的研究也证明了这一现象是多么复杂,并强调我们仍然缺乏对大脑和行为不对称的完整理解。在这里,我对Ocklenburg及其同事提出的未来侧化研究必须面对的两个挑战进行评论。我认为,为了提高我们对偏侧化的理解,我们必须将其视为一种动态和可塑性的特征,它受到内部因素(如动物的动机和情绪状态)和外部因素(包括物理环境和社会背景)的强烈影响。

期刊介绍: 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.
