Lateralization in chicks and hens: new evidence for control of response by the right eye system

Neuropsychologia

Abstract

Domestic chicks show marked lateralization of visually evoked behaviour: left eye use is associated with, and has advantage for, the detection of novelty; right eye use is associated with the use of selected cues to determine what response should be given. Experiments undertaken to see how far such lateralization might be a transient feature of development showed similar patterns in both adults and chicks: (i) use of the right, but not the left, frontal field allowed the inhibition of pecks at a familiar social partner; (ii) in distant viewing, there was spontaneous preference for more use of the left eye when the social partner was familiar rather than unfamiliar. The chick data, in particular, support the hypothesis that the visual system fed by the right eye is especially competent in the control of response. This is shown by the ability of birds that are using the right eye to inhibit approach to an entirely novel potential social partner, and inhibit pecks at a familiar partner. The resemblances between chick and hen are sufficient to show that the basic adult pattern is already present in the young chick: the various developmental changes in features of lateralization, such as days of bias to control by one or other hemis...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
