The left and right hemispheres are associated with different functions and specialize in interpreting the same data in different ways, referred to as lateralization of the brain. The left hemisphere is associated with language and calculations, while the right hemisphere is more closely associated with visual-spatial recognition and facial ...
[30]: 107 [31] Interestingly, research has shown quite opposite function of brain lateralisation, i.e. right hemisphere creatively and chaotically links between concepts and left hemisphere tends to adhere to specific date and time, although generally adhering to the pattern of left-brain as linguistic interpretation and right brain as spatio ...
The functional specialization of these hemispheres are offering insight on different forms of cognitive behaviour therapy methods, one focusing on verbal cognition (the main function of the left hemisphere) and the other emphasizing imagery or spatial cognition (the main function of the right hemisphere). [14]
The asymmetrical representation of the autonomic peripheral nervous system leads to the asymmetrical representation in the brain. [5] The left hemisphere is activated predominantly by homeostatic afferents associated with parasympathetic functions and the right hemisphere is activated predominantly by homeostatic afferents associated with ...
Left-brain interpretation is a case of the lateralization of brain function that applies to "explanation generation" rather than other lateralized activities. [5] Although the concept of the left-brain interpreter was initially based on experiments on patients with split-brains , it has since been shown to apply to the everyday behavior of ...
The superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF) is an association tract in the brain that is composed of three separate components. [1] [2] It is present in both hemispheres and can be found lateral to the centrum semiovale and connects the frontal, occipital, parietal, and temporal lobes. [2]
The vertebrate cerebrum is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure. The brain can thus be described as being divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres. Each of these hemispheres has an outer layer of grey matter, the cerebral cortex, that is supported by an inner layer of white matter.
Stroke patients have been found to unilateral impairment following damage to either the left or right hemisphere, this effecting the opposite side of the body. [15] Separating each hemisphere allows for specialization of storage, procedural and cognitive function. Through "split-brain experiments", the left hemisphere is shown to specialize in ...
