A landmark contribution to neuropsychology and psycholinguistics, Human Laterality presents a comprehensive scientific account of cerebral asymmetry and the functional differences between the left and right hemispheres of the human brain. Michael C. Corballis, a distinguished cognitive neuroscientist, argues that lateralization — the tendency of certain mental functions to be dominated by one side of the brain — is a uniquely and profoundly human characteristic. The work draws on a wide body of experimental evidence to detail how handedness, language, and spatial cognition are distributed asymmetrically across the two cerebral hemispheres. Written with academic rigour yet accessible clarity, the book situates its findings within the broader Perspectives in Neurolinguistics, Neuropsychology, and Psycholinguistics monograph series, making it an essential reference for researchers and students of brain science and human cognition.
