Lesley J. Rogers

Lesley J. Rogers is Emeritus Professor at the University of New England, Armidale, NSW, Australia.[1] She was Professor of Neuroscience and Animal Behaviour from 1993 to 2007. In 2000 she was elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.[2] Her main area of research is asymmetry of brain and behaviour, which she has studied in a range of species, beginning with her pioneering discovery of asymmetry of brain and behaviour in a non-human species [3,4]; until then such asymmetry was thought to be unique to humans. She has also conducted research on development of behaviour and the effects of early experience, memory formation and communication in birds and primates.

Qualifications B.Sc. (Hons)(Adel), D.Phil., D.Sc. (Sus), FAA

Career Professor Rogers graduated with a first-class BSc (Hons) from Adelaide University, South Australia, in 1964.[1] From 1965 to 1966 she was a teaching fellow at Harvard University, USA, and from 1967 to 1968 she was a research assistant to Dr Marshall Kaplan in the Gastroenterology Department of the New England Medical Center Hospital in Boston. Together they developed a technique to determine in plasma samples whether cancer is in the bone or liver. In 1971 Rogers was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy (D.Phil.) from Sussex University in the UK. Her research was supervised by the ethologist, Professor Richard Andrew, was in the fields of animal behaviour and neuroscience. The title of her thesis was Testosterone, Isthmo-optic Lesions and Visual Search in Chickens. She returned to Australia in 1972 when she was appointed as a senior tutor in the Physiology Department at Monash University. There she conducted research on the biological basis of memory formations with Professor Richard Mark. A finding made during this research led her to the discovery of lateralized brain function in the chick and later to showing that light exposure of the embryo leads to lateralization of visual behaviour. From 1976 to 1977 she was a senior research fellow at the Australian National University, and from 1978 to 1985 she was in the Pharmacology Department at Monash University, appointed initially as a senior tutor, next as an ARC research fellow and then as a lecturer. She joined the Physiology Department of the University of New England in 1985 as a lecturer. In 1987 she was awarded a Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) from Sussex University for a body of research accumulated after completion of her D.Phil. and complied in a thesis entitled Neuroethological Studies of Brain Development and Behaviour. In 1987 she was appointed senior lecturer at the University of New England and in 1989 associate professor. From 1991 to 1995 she served as Head of the Department of Physiology. In 1993 she was appointed to a personal chair, Professor of Neuroscience and Animal Behaviour, and from 1995 to 2007 she was Co-ordinator of the Centre for Neuroscience and Animal Behaviour. Em. Prof. Rogers is currently a co-Editor of the journal Laterality: Asymmetries of Brain, Behaviour, and Cognition [5] and serves on the editorial boards of a number of other journals. She has been a keynote speaker at many international conferences and has served on a many scientific committees; e.g.[6]. After discovering asymmetry of brain function in the chick, Professor Rogers’ research focused on development and evolution of asymmetry of brain and behaviour. At first, she continued to investigate lateralization in the chick, as a model species for understanding development and the role of experience in determining lateralization. A remarkable finding was the effect of exposure of the embryo to light just prior to hatching: due to the orientation of the embryo in the egg at this stage only the right eye is stimulated by light passing through the egg shell and membranes and this causes asymmetry to develop in the thalamofugal visual pathway and to lateralization of visual behaviour after hatching. The left hemisphere, she found, discriminates and categorises food grains from a background of pebbles, whereas the right hemisphere controls attack and copulation and, as shown later in collaboration with Professor Giorgio Vallortigara, the right hemisphere has superior ability to detect predators and other small changes in the environment. Following on from this, and in collaboration with Prof. Gisela Kaplan, Prof. Rogers studied lateralized visual behaviour in other avian species and also in primates, marmosets and orang-utans. Extending her research to other vertebrate species (e.g. lungfish, toads, horses, dogs) and together with a number of her students, she found evidence that having a lateralized brain is widespread amongst vertebrate species and, as found recently, even amongst invertebrate species (bees studied by Rogers and colleagues). A paper published in 2005 by Vallortigara and Rogers outlined their hypothesis that lateralization within a population is associated with social behaviour: interaction between lateralized individuals requires them to be lateralized in the same direction. Comparison of social and asocial species of bees supports this hypothesis: whereas social honeybees and stingless bees are lateralized broadly or different types of behaviour, asocial bees show no lateralization apart from in their rarer social interactions, as in aggression (see references listed).

Awards and recognition In 1990 Professor Rogers received a Visiting Professor Award to the Centre for Excellence in Psychology at the University of Memphis, USA. The University of New England awarded her Academic Women’s Special Achievement Award for 1993. In 1997 she received the Vice-Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Research, University of New England, and in 1998 was elected Fellow of the Australian Institute of Biology (FAIBiol). She was a recipient of the Australian Research Council Special Investigator Award from 1998-2002 inclusive. In 2000 she was elected as a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (FAA) and served on its council from 2004 to 2013. She was awarded in 2003 a Centenary Medal for Service to Neuroscience and Australian Society and also in 2003 the Clarke Medal for Zoology from the Royal Society of New South Wales for Research in Zoology.[7] In 2005 she was elected Corresponding Fellow of the American Ornithologists’ Union.

Publications Professor Rogers has published over 230 refereed research articles, 19 books, and 52 book chapters.
