Solve problems and answer questions instead of following trends!

Abstract

With this comment, I comment on the key ideas of the opinion paper by Ocklenburg et al. The authors describe trends in lateralization research for the next decade. With my commentary, I take the liberty of pointing out that it is first more important to focus on the relevant questions to be answered in the context of lateralization research before calling out research trends. Furthermore, the focus of lateralization research in humans should be more on the human brain and human behaviour because the human brain is highly specialized despite many similarities with other species’ brains.
