4 unusual facts about Lateralization of brain function


Cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome

There have been studies that show laterality effects of cerebellar damage with relation to CCAS.

Hemispatial neglect

Although hemispatial neglect has been identified following left hemisphere damage (resulting in the neglect of the right side of space), it is most common after damage to the right hemisphere.

Lateralization of brain function

Terence Hines states that the research on brain lateralization is valid as a research program, though commercial promoters have applied it to promote subjects and products far outside the implications of the research.

Verbal memory

Verbal encoding appears to be strongly left-lateralized in the medial temporal lobe of the human brain, however, its functional neuroanatomy can vary between individuals.


Geschwind–Galaburda hypothesis

The Geschwind–Galaburda hypothesis was proposed by Norman Geschwind and Albert Galaburda to explain sex differences in cognitive abilities by relating them to Lateralization of brain function.
