Are you Right or Left-Brained? Find Out!!

Did you know it is possible to identify which side of your brain is most dominant? Well it is! 

Neuroscientists tell us that the brain has a right hemisphere and a left hemisphere. What we know is there are different parts of our brain. that control different functions in our body and also in our cognition (the way we think). 

 PARTS OF THE BRAIN FIG.  1.1

 

It is important to remember the lobes run both sides of the brain and are not separated to either side where one lobe is on one side...

If you would split the brain right down the middle into two symmetrical, or equal parts, you would have a right and left hemisphere. Although equal in size, these two sides are not the same, and do not carry out the same functions. (see Figure 1.1) 

 

The Left side

 Functions: Responsible for control of the right side of the body, and is the more academic and logical side of the brain.

The Right side

 Functions: Responsible for control of the left side of the body, and is the more artistic and creative side of the brain
