Lateralized Feeding Behavior is Associated with Asymmetrical Neuroanatomy and Lateralized Gene Expressions in the Brain in Scale-Eating Cichlid Fish.

One of the exciting findings in our study is the highly significant correlation between the degree of asymmetrical expression in sncga and that of behavioral lateralization. sncga belongs to a group of soluble proteins (synucleins) that act as neurotransmitters and are commonly expressed in neural tissues; however, sncga is typically expressed in peripheral neurons and the retina ( George 2002 ).
