The lateralization of brain function (or hemispheric dominance[1][2] / lateralization [3][4]) is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The median longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum.
Brain asymmetry. In human neuroanatomy, brain asymmetry can refer to at least two quite distinct findings: Neuroanatomical differences between the left and right sides of the brain. Lateralized functional differences: lateralization of brain function. A stereotypical image of brain lateralisation - demonstrated to be false in neuroscientific ...
The Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) is a system to measure and describe thinking preferences in people, developed by William "Ned" Herrmann while leading management education at General Electric 's Crotonville facility. It is a type of cognitive style measurement and model, and is often compared to psychological pseudoscientific ...
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 ...
Cerebral hemisphere. Human brain seen from front. The vertebrate cerebrum (brain) 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 ...
Neuroanatomy of handedness. An estimated 90% of the world's human population consider themselves to be right-handed. [1] The human brain's control of motor function is a mirror image in terms of connectivity; the left hemisphere controls the right hand and vice versa. This theoretically means that the hemisphere contralateral to the dominant ...
Some variations of right hemisphere dominance are... a) The right hemisphere has more control over emotion than left hemisphere. [n 2] b) The right hemisphere is dominant in emotional expression in a similar way that the left hemisphere is dominant in language. c) The right hemisphere is dominant in the perception of facial expression, body ...
The left hemisphere is usually dominant in right-handed people, although bilateral activations are not uncommon in syntactic processing. It is now accepted that the right hemisphere plays an important role in the processing of suprasegmental acoustic features like prosody, which is "the rhythmic and melodic variations in speech". [3]
