Medicine, Mind, and the Double Brain: A Study in Nineteenth-Century Thought is a seminal book by historian of science Anne Harrington that explores the early scientific, social, and cultural history of cerebral lateralization. First published by Princeton University Press in 1987, the book traces how 19th-century researchers first encountered the concept of "inner dissymmetry"—the division of labor between the left and right hemispheres of the human brain.
