| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we tried to clarify biological relevance for the asymmetry of mouse brain by analyzing internal organs inversion mouse's (iv mouse) cranial nerve circuit what meaning right and left asymmetry in the synapse. As a result, functional asymmetry existed also in the cerebral cortex nerve system. This suggested the possibility that a research for asymmetry on the mouse brain leads to a research for laterality on the higher order function of human brain.
