Abstract

Još od prvih početaka neuroznanstvenih i bihevioralnih istraživanja, stručnjaci nailaze na
specifičnu pojavu koja se naziva lateralnost. Budući da se ta pojava manifestira na razini
ponašanja, ali i na kognitivnoj razini, nastaju dva podtipa lateralnosti: bihevioralna i
cerebralna lateralnost. Proučavajući životinjsko ponašanje i morfologiju, ustanovljeno je da je
lateralnost karakteristika kompletne linije kralježnjaka i nekih skupina beskralježnjaka, a s
povećanom stopom istraživanja u posljednje vrijeme, pretpostavljena je i genetička pozadina
te pojave. Uz dodatna otkrića o ekološkim utjecajima na pojavu lateralnosti, znanstvenici
pokušavaju naći odgovore na pitanja vezana uz postanak i starost lateralnosti, njezinu
raširenost i moguću biološku prednost među organizmima.

Abstract (english)

From the beginning of neuroscientific and behavioral researches, experts are comming across
a specific phenomenon called laterality. Since this phenomenon manifests at the behavioral
level, but also at the cognitive level, two subtypes of laterality appear: bihevioral and cerebral
laterality. Through studies of animal behavior and morphology, it has been established that
laterality is a characteristic of the complete linage of vertebrates and some groups of
invertebrates, and lately, with an increased research rate, a genetic background is also
assumed. With additional discoveries of ecological impacts on laterality, scientists are trying
to find the answers to questions concerning the origin and age of laterality, how widespead
laterality is, and the potentional biological advantage of laterality among organisms.
