Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses the importance of hemispheric asymmetries in the brain, highlighting early discoveries by Dax and Broca about how the left hemisphere is linked to speech impairments, and noting that such asymmetries are evolutionarily conserved across species.
  • It emphasizes that brain lateralization is not limited to language but also affects memory, decision-making, and emotions, and that these asymmetries are adaptable or plastic in adults.
  • The review aims to organize current knowledge on the structural and functional differences between brain hemispheres, explore their evolutionary origins, and consider how laboratory models like rodents can help explain these asymmetries.]
