In 2017, Sebastian Ocklenburg & Onur Güntürkün published their textbook “The Lateralized Brain: The Neuroscience and Evolution of Hemispheric Asymmetries”.
 
While the book is an established teaching and research resource on hemispheric asymmetries by now, science does never stand still and many exciting studies on hemispheric asymmetries have been published since 2017.
 
Therefore, Sebastian and Onur completely overhauled their book and included hundreds of new references, many new pictures and a completely new chapter on asymmetries and development.
 
Like the first edition, the second edition of the book has a strong focus on integrating research findings across fields and species to give a view on hemispheric asymmetries that is informed by both neurobiology and evolution.
