Article Synopsis
- * The nervous systems of bilaterian organisms are organized in a way that shows asymmetrical neuronal circuits, where functions are often concentrated in one hemisphere of the brain.
- * This review examines research using genetic models like nematodes, zebrafish, and Drosophila to study these neuronal asymmetries, revealing significant variability compared to more established bodily asymmetries and discussing its implications for brain function and cognition.
Left-Right (LR) asymmetry of the nervous system is widespread across animals and is thought to be important for cognition and behaviour. But in contrast to visceral organ asymmetry, the genetic basis and function of brain laterality remain only poorly characterized. In this study, we performed RNAi screening to identify genes controlling brain asymmetry in Drosophila.
