Brain size asymmetry differs considerably across species, including humans, vertebrates, and invertebrates. The subtle structural, functional, or differences between the two brain sides are associated with processing specific cognitive tasks. To evaluate sizes of left right whole regions effect predation risk (i.e., snake density) on among Chinese anurans, we compared hemisphere anuran species analyzed correlations index regions. We found that when one side was consistently larger than other, there a significant difference regions, displaying directional also total positively correlated olfactory bulb optic tecta hemispheres were ones. Meanwhile, telencephalon However, non-significant 99 anurans. Our findings suggest an increased linked to sociality is likely drive increase in size.
