4. Two Hemispheres of the brain
Corpus Callosum

5. The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right, connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum.
The left brain controls all the muscles on the right-hand side of the body; and the right brain controls the left side.
One hemisphere may be slightly dominant, as with left- or right-handedness.

7. Left brain
The left hemisphere is dominant in language: processing what you hear and handling most of the duties of speaking.
It's also in charge of carrying out logic and exact mathematical computations. When you need to retrieve a fact, your left brain pulls it from your memory.

8. Right Brain
The right hemisphere plays a role in visual and auditory processing, spatial skills and artistic ability — more instinctive or creative things
It plays a role in language, particularly in interpreting context and a person's tone.
The right hemisphere is mainly in charge of spatial abilities, face recognition and processing music.

9. Left Brain VS Right Brian
NOTE:
It’s absolutely true that some brain functions occur in one or the other side of the brain
However, more modern research has shown that the brain is not nearly as dichotomous as once thought!
You are not “right brained or left brained,” as you do not use one side more, than the other

10. Right Brain VS Left Brain
For example, speech emanates from the left side of the brain for most right-handed people.
This does not imply, though, that great writers or speakers use their left side of the brain more than the right. The brain works best when it works together.

11. Right Brain VS Left Brain
Given the popularity of the idea of "right brained" and "left brained" thinkers, it might surprise you learn that this idea is just a myth about the brain…

12. Left Brain VS Right Brain
Recent research has shown that abilities in subjects such as math are actually strongest when both halves of the brain work together.
Today, neuroscientists know that the two sides of the brain work together to perform a wide variety of tasks

13. Left Brain and Right Brian
Let’s look at an example of how we use the skills of both hemispheres to solve a problem…

14. Left Brain and Right Brain
The left hemisphere needs to read the words, while the right hemisphere needs to determine the spatial relationship between the words.
What about this more difficult example…

15. Left Brain and Right Brain
Why are some people better and quicker than others?
Thicker, more efficient corpus callosums
More even dominance between hemispheres, effective ‘balance’
Familiarity with words, phrases

18. Question….
After learning about the specialized functions of the left and right hemispheres, which hemisphere do you think you rely on primarily when you take notes, study, and try to recall information for test?
How could you possibly make better use of both hemispheres to help improve your grades?
