asymmetrical behavior without an asymmetrical brain: corpus callosum and neuroplasticity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 September 2005
Abstract
the theory put forward by vallortigara & rogers (v&r) to explain the versatility of directional asymmetries at the population level argues that the strength of lateralization is controlled by social learning. this shaping of behavioral asymmetries by a non-stationary pressure probably involves a marked degree of neuroplasticity. i discuss the limits of neuroplasticity along with the evolution of the corpus callosum.
