Until recently little account has been taken of sex differences in manyresearch studies in psychiatry medicine and physiology. Subjects of theseresearch studies were mainly men with most researchers using twice as manymales as females in their studies. The need to take a sexually differentiatedapproach has led to the work described in this book concerning detailedinvestigations into the correlations between functional asymmetry of the brainand sex. Sex Differences in Lateralization in the Animal Brain is the firstmonograph summarizing the sexual specificity of functional lateralization ofthe brain in animals and humans.
