Chairman: Mr Michael Edgar

RECENT ADVANCES OF OUR UNDERSTANDING OF ASYMMETRY

C. McManus

Professor of Psychology and Medical Education, Department of Psychology, University College, London

Humans show many asymmetries. Heart, lungs, liver and other viscera are either to one side, or differ on the two sides, and most people also have an asymmetric brain, with a majority of people being right-handed and having language processing in the left hemisphere of the brain. In this talk I will look at some recent advances in our understanding of the biology of asymmetry.
