The dominance of one cerebral hemisphere over the other vis-a-vis a certain function.
the phenomenon in which the two hemispheres of the brain specialize in regard to different functions.
the localization of assorted functions, competencies, and skills in either or both hemispheres.
localization of function on either the right or left sides of the brain
having a distinctive side; the connections between the brain hemispheres being severed.
asymmetry of brain function; in right-handers, for instance, the left hemisphere is primarily responsible for language, with the right hemisphere doing the visual and spatial tasks.
Process by which one hemisphere of the brain comes to dominate the other, for example, processing of language in the left hemisphere or of spatial information in the right hemisphere.
