title: Morphometric study on the interhemispheric asymmetries in the Wistar rat and the effects of early experience.
abstract: Sixty male Wistar rats were used for this experiment and assigned at random to the control group or to the stimulation method. Control rats show cerebral asymmetry with right bias at the frontal and occipital lobes. In the case of stimulated rats the differences from the occipital zone increase while those from the frontal lobe disappear.
