内容简介

This lecture will consider differences between the right and left sides of our bodies as a fundamental aspect of human development. Even when they appear similar, there are usually subtle differences between them. Two examples are external differences between the right and left sides of our faces and internal differences between the right and left sides of our brains. Are these distinct processes or do they share a common origin?
