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 ...
[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 left brain sees the flower while the right brain is simultaneously viewing the rabbit. When the patients were asked what they saw, they said they only saw the flower and did not see the rabbit. The flower is in the right visual field and the left hemisphere can only see the flower. The left hemisphere dominates the interpretation of the ...
A study of 25 hemispheres from 15 normal individuals with average age 59 years at autopsy found a very high variation, from 4272 to 7027mm for the right hemisphere (mean 5692mm), and from 3185 to 7568mm for the left hemisphere (mean 5119mm), with 0.81 correlation between left and right hemispheres.

The two hemispheres have a complementary specialization for control of different aspects of emotion. [n 2] a) Left hemisphere primarily process "positive" emotions and right hemisphere primarily process "negative" emotions. A large portion of regions primarily in the right hemisphere are activated during aversive classical conditioning. [n 5]
It is traditionally thought to reside in Brodmann area 22, located in the superior temporal gyrus in the dominant cerebral hemisphere, which is the left hemisphere in about 95% of right-handed individuals and 70% of left-handed individuals. [1] Damage caused to Wernicke's area results in receptive, fluent aphasia. This means that the person ...
In MIT, individuals with small lesions in the left hemisphere seem to recover by activation of the left hemisphere perilesional cortex. Meanwhile, individuals with larger left-hemisphere lesions show a recruitment of the use of language-capable regions in the right hemisphere. [43] The interpretation of these results is still a matter of debate.
Right-ear/left-hemisphere advantage is expected, because of evidence from Broca's area and Wernicke's area, which are both located in the left hemisphere. In contrast, the left ear (and therefore the right hemisphere) is often better at processing nonlinguistic material. [28] The data from the emotional dichotic listening task is consistent ...
