The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Please help improve the article with a good introductory style. |
Brain asymmetry may be described from several angles:
- Macro-neuroanatomical differencies between left and right brain
- Functional differencies: Lateralization of brain function
Macro-anatomical asymmetry differencies in the human brain are reflected shape of the skull, where there is a backward protusion of the left occipital bone and a forward protusion of the right frontal bone.[1]
