  2. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

    Language functions such as grammar, vocabulary and literal meaning are typically lateralized to the left hemisphere, especially in right-handed individuals. [7] While language production is left-lateralized in up to 90% of right-handers, it is more bilateral, or even right-lateralized, in approximately 50% of left-handers. [8]

  3. Cerebral hemisphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hemisphere

    Each cerebral hemisphere has an outer layer of cerebral cortex which is of grey matter and in the interior of the cerebral hemispheres is an inner layer or core of white matter known as the centrum semiovale. [3] The interior portion of the hemispheres of the cerebrum includes the lateral ventricles, the basal ganglia, and the white matter. [4]

  4. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

    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 ...

  5. Laterality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laterality

    The reasons for this are not fully understood, but it is thought that because the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body, the right side is generally stronger; it is suggested that the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant over the right in most humans because in 90–92% of all humans, the left hemisphere is ...

  6. Contralateral brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contralateral_brain

    Consequently, the left side of the forebrain mostly represents the right side of the body, and the right side of the brain primarily represents the left side of the body. The contralateral organization involves both executive and sensory functions (e.g., a left-sided brain lesion may cause a right-sided hemiplegia).

  7. Functional specialization (brain) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_specialization...

    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]

  8. Emotional lateralization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_lateralization

    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 ...

  9. Left-brain interpreter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-brain_interpreter

    The left cerebral hemisphere of the brain. The left-brain interpreter is a neuropsychological concept developed by the psychologist Michael S. Gazzaniga and the neuroscientist Joseph E. LeDoux. [1] [2] It refers to the construction of explanations by the left brain hemisphere in order to make sense of the world by reconciling new information ...
