Rotational Behavior in Children and Adults

  • Chapter
Primate Laterality

Part of the book series: Recent Research in Psychology ((PSYCHOLOGY))

Abstract

It is now well accepted that the two hemispheres of the human brain are different, or asymmetric, with regard to several functions. In most individuals the left hemisphere is more specialized for language processing and the right hemisphere for spatial ability and emotional expression. Because these attributes have generally been ascribed to the cortex, there has been very little interest in the possibility of there being functional asymmetries in subcortical regions. However, asymmetry in one subcortical structure, the corpus striatum, has been extensively investigated in rats, and recent studies have extended this work to humans. The present review summarizes this latter work and its potential for helping to understand the behavioral pathology and symptomatic treatment of particular neurological and psychiatric disorders
