Left and right hemispheric lateralization of the amygdala in pain

Progress in neurobiology ·doi:10.1016/j.pneurobio.2020.101891

Hemispheric asymmetries within the brain have been identified across taxa and have been extensively studied since the early 19th century. Here, we discuss lateralization of a brain structure, the amygdala, and how this lateralization is res…
