The book provides a thematic, comprehensive overview of the brain mechanisms that influence whether we go to the left or right, on which side we stand, and which hand we use.

Review

"Brain Laterality: Right, Up, and Forward by Kenneth M. Heilman is a remarkable book unlike any other work on brain laterality I have read. Heilman, a pioneering scientist in the field known for his seminal contributions for understanding the role of the right hemisphere for visual attention, combines neuroscientific insights with clinical case reports and personal perspectives. The end result is a fascinating insight into the world of left and right in the brain that I can only recommend to anyone interested in neuroscience."Prof. Dr. Sebastian Ocklenburg, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, Faculty of Psychology, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany
