This dataset, chimpbrains_df, is a data frame containing measurements of asymmetry in Brodmann's area 44 for 20 chimpanzees. Brodmann's area 44 is a brain region associated with language processing in humans and is located in the inferior frontal gyrus. The dataset includes individual identifiers, sex, and asymmetry measurements, providing insights into neural lateralization patterns in non-human primates. This data can be useful for comparative neuroanatomy studies and understanding the evolution of language-related brain structures.
Usage
data(chimpbrains_df)Format
A data frame with 20 observations and 3 variables:
- name
Individual chimpanzee identifier (factor with 20 levels)
- sex
Sex of the chimpanzee (factor with 2 levels: "F" = female, "M" = male)
- asymmetry
Asymmetry measurement of Brodmann's area 44 (numeric)
