(institutional); UK £30, elsewhere £55 (personal) Since Broca, Wernicke and other pioneering nineteenth-century neurologists first demonstrated that some brain functions are lateralized,
interest in this phenomenon has grown progressively. The field was given enormous impetus in this century by Roger Sperry, whose work with split-brain patients began to parse more precisely
the functions carried out by the right and left cerebral hemispheres. More recently, the advent of functional neuroimaging has raised these endeavours to an even more sophisticated technical
level. All this explains the rationale for a new publication devoted to lateralized neural functions; there is certainly plenty of grist for the mill. This is a preview of subscription
