Reversed bodies, reversed brains, and (some) reversed behaviors: of zebrafish and men

Abstract

Although zebrafish with situs inversus show complete reversal of normal visceral and cerebral asymmetries, they show left-right reversal of only some behaviors, with others continuing to show species-typical lateralization. The implication is that, as in humans, there are at least two independent mechanisms for generating asymmetry.
