The regulation of such biologic drives as sex and aggression is a critical evolutionary function required of the nervous system. There is evidence that, in humans, the right hemisphere is dominant for many "emotional" functions. In the cortical regions involved in emotion, there are two important, complementary, sensorilimbic connective pathways: a dorsal system critical for surveillance, attention, and arousal and a ventral system specialized for stimulus identification, learning, and emotional response. Hemispheric specialization may introduce lateral asymmetries in these sensorilimbic connections, which could account for contrasting dominance in both emotional functions and some cognitive domains.
对诸如性和攻击等生物驱力的调节是神经系统所需的一项关键进化功能。有证据表明，在人类中，右半球在许多“情感”功能方面占主导地位。在涉及情感的皮质区域，有两条重要的、互补的感觉边缘连接通路：一条背侧系统对监测、注意力和唤醒至关重要，一条腹侧系统专门用于刺激识别、学习和情感反应。半球特化可能会在这些感觉边缘连接中引入侧向不对称性，这可能解释了在情感功能和一些认知领域中相反的主导地位。
