Lateralization of the brain – the tendency for the left and right hemispheres to specialize in different functions – underlies the development of a left-to-right mental number line, according to a ...

Contrary to popular belief, the "whole-brain" has four hemispheres; two (left-right) cerebral hemispheres and two (L-R) cerebellar hemispheres. Changes in the symmetry of gray matter volume and cortex ...

In findings that raise a variety of questions about how our brains work, and even about the nature of consciousness, UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators report that only a small section of ...

But researchers were concerned about whether this procedure might have other, less desirable effects. What happens when the right and left sides of the cerebral cortex—responsible for an enormous ...

For decades, the idea that creativity comes from the right side of the brain has dominated popular culture. People have been told they're either "right-brained" (creative, intuitive) or "left-brained" ...

Some of the most complex cognitive functions are possible because different sides of your brain control them. Chief among them is speech perception, the ability to interpret language. In people, the ...
