    Direction of the embyro\u27s head rotation is determined by asymmetrical expression of several genes (such as shh, nodal, lefty, and fgf8) in hensen\u27s node. this genetically determined head-turning bias provides a base for light-aligned population lateralization in chicks, in which the direction of the lateralization is determined by genetic factors and the degree of the lateralization is determined by environmental factors
