Most animal species that have brains are organized bilaterally, ie in two hemispheres. Most species also are organized so that the left hemisphere relates to the right side of the body and vice versa. This is referred to as cross-lateralisation. This arrangemnt seems to have been quite clearly selcted for in evolutionary terms, but I am unclear as to what evolutionary advantage cross-lateralisation provides. Are there any species that show ipsi-lateral organisation? |
