Cerebral Asymmetries (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Cerebral Asymmetries, Volume 208 summarizes research on cerebral hemispheric asymmetries and their implication for consciousness cognition, language emotion, behavior movement, and neurological disease. The book discusses anatomy and networks, genetics, hormones, and evolution, although it is primarily focused on animal research as it relates back to humans. - Summarizes research on cerebral hemispheric asymmetries - Identifies impact on consciousness, cognition, language, behavior, movement, and more - Includes animal and human research - Covers anatomy, genetics, hormones, and evolution
