  2. Ocular dominance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_dominance

    Ocular dominance, sometimes called eye preference or eyedness, [1] is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. [2] It is somewhat analogous to the laterality of right- or left- handedness; however, the side of the dominant eye and the dominant hand do not always match. [3] This is because both hemispheres control both eyes ...

  3. Ocular dominance column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_dominance_column

    A simulation of the ocular dominance column pattern, as might be seen if the surface of V1 were colored according to eye preference. A typical map of the relationship between ocular dominance, orientation, and cytochrome oxidase. Dark and light areas represent neurons that respond preferentially to the left and right eye.

  4. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

    The lateralization of brain function (or hemispheric dominance[1][2] / lateralization [3][4]) is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The median longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum ...

  5. Laterality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laterality

    The left eye is used prior to jumping (73%) and prior to circling (65%) the predator, as well as during circling (58%) and for high alert inspection of the predator (72%). The researchers commented that "mobbing and perhaps circling are agonistic responses controlled by the LE[left eye]/right hemisphere, as also seen in other species.

  6. Neuroanatomy of handedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroanatomy_of_handedness

    Neuroanatomy of handedness. An estimated 90% of the world's human population consider themselves to be right-handed. [1] The human brain's control of motor function is a mirror image in terms of connectivity; the left hemisphere controls the right hand and vice versa. This theoretically means that the hemisphere contralateral to the dominant ...

  7. Handedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness

    Left hands make up over 90% of the artwork, demonstrating the prevalence of right-handedness. [ 1 ] A female student writes with her left hand. In human biology, handedness is an individual's preferential use of one hand, known as the dominant hand, due to it being stronger, faster or more dextrous. The other hand, comparatively often the ...

  8. Ambidexterity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambidexterity

    Ambidexterity. Ambidexterity is the ability to use both the right and left hand equally well. [1][2] When referring to objects, the term indicates that the object is equally suitable for right-handed and left-handed people. When referring to humans, it indicates that a person has no marked preference for the use of the right or left hand.

  9. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    Visual system. The visual system includes the eyes, the connecting pathways through to the visual cortex and other parts of the brain (human system shown). The eye is the sensory organ of the visual system. The iris, pupil, and sclera are visible. Identifiers.
