To understand left- and right-handedness, Professor Eric Horstick looks at zebrafish, which have transparent bodies, develop into adults in a few days, and their genetics and brain structure are highly similar to humans'. Here's his story for @TheConversationUS

#Science #Genetics #Handedness

I study why zebrafish larva prefer to circle left or right, to understand how and why human brains encode right- and left-handedness

Being left- or right-handed – and the paw, eye, fin and wing equivalents – is a product of genes, development and the environment.
