Abstract

While paying attention to the recommendations of Ocklenburg et al. (2020) in the target article, researchers in the field of laterality should attempt to: 1) solve the long-standing puzzle of the relationship between handedness and language lateralization; 2) further explore the genetic bases of manual and cerebral asymmetry and of their associations with psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions; 3) explore the adaptive significance of laterality for humans and non-humans and elucidate the relationships of asymmetry across species; and 4) embrace developing technologies to investigate interaction between the hemispheres during the performance of everyday tasks.
