Does brain asymmetry allow efficient performance of simultaneous tasks (2006, background): “…the human brain, is now recognized to be ubiquitously present among vertebrates (reviewed in Andrew & Rogers 2002; Vallortigara & Bisazza 2002) and existing in other taxonomic groups too (octopods: Byrne et al. 2002; spiders: Ades & Ramires 2002; insects: Kells & Goulson 2001; Pascual et al. 2004).”
Lateralized female topminnows can forage and attend to a harassing male simultaneously (2006, background): “ver the last few decades, the occurrence of functional left-right cerebral asymmetries have been reported in a wide range of animals, both among vertebrates (reviewed in Rogers and Andrew, 2002) and invertebrates (Ades and Ramires, 2002; Byrne et al., 2002; Pascual et al., 2004), and researchers h”
The influence of early experience on, and inheritance of, cerebral lateralization (2007, unknown): “Cerebral lateralization is widespread among the vertebrates and may even be common among the invertebrates (Vallortigara 2000; Byrne et al. 2002).”
Lateralized eye use in Octopus vulgaris shows antisymmetrical distribution (2004, background): “The quality of preferential eye use is not influenced by the visibility of the experimenters (Byrne et al. 2002).”
