摘要：
The possible relationship between human and animal asymmetries is currently a controversial point. In the present study we report that, after practice, rat behavioral asymmetry presents important similarities with human laterality. Thus, rat behavior presents: (1) absolute and population laterality to the same degree and with the same right-bias as that reported for humans; (2) the female has less absolute laterality but similar population laterality to the male; (3) male-female differences for behavioral laterality are modified by prenatal stress as occurs with similar other hormone-regulated behavior.
