Compare and contrast the right and left cerebral hemispheres and their function?
What will be an ideal response?
The two hemispheres of the brain look very similar and are connected via the corpus callosum. This structure assists the hemispheres in performing acts that require both hemispheres. The majority of tasks require both hemispheres. However, the brain does demonstrate some level of specialization in each of the hemispheres. The left hemisphere appears to be better at math, language, and logical reasoning. The right side plays a larger role in recognizing faces, using your imagination, and drawing a picture.
