What is brain lateralization, and is there such thing as a "left-brain" or "right-brain" person?

What will be an ideal response?


Brain lateralization is the specialization of the two hemispheres in the brain. The left hemisphere processes language and sequential information while the right hemisphere processes spatial reasoning and information in holistic ways. The two hemispheres work together to process information, and the idea that we are "left-brain" or "right-brain" is exaggerated.
