A study analyzing hundreds of cat videos found that cats predominantly sleep on their left side, likely as a survival strategy to better perceive threats with their right-brain processing spatial awareness and danger detection.
The article explains how the left and right sides of the brain process language differently, with the left hemisphere specializing in speech and the right in melodies, and how these processes develop during critical periods in early life. Research on mice shows that these developmental windows vary by sex and hemisphere, influencing how sound is processed and potentially contributing to neurodevelopmental disorders like autism and schizophrenia. Understanding these mechanisms offers insights into language development and potential early interventions.
