- The largest portion of the brain—the cerebral cortex—has two hemispheres. The right hemisphere of the brain controls nonverbal communication, emotions and spatial orientation or sense of body position.The left hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body and is the brain’s language center.amage to this side of the brain can cause a range of problems in a person’s emotions and behavior. A stroke survivor with right-brain injury may be unaware of his or her impairment and be certain that he or she can perform the same tasks as before the stroke.

- Right or Left Brain. The functional sections or lobes of the brain are also divided into right and left sides. The right side and the left side of the brain are responsible for different functions. General patterns of dysfunction can occur if an injury is on the right or left side of the brain. Injuries of the left side of the brain can cause: 1  Difficulties in understanding language (receptive language). 2  Difficulties in speaking or verbal output (expressive language). 3  Catastrophic reactions (depression, anxiety).

Are you 'right-brained' and creative or 'left-brained' and logical? You're neither, claims study, as link between brain sides and personality are nonsense The brain's right hemisphere controls the muscles on the left side of the body, while the left hemisphere controls the muscles on the right side of the human body. When you wink your right eye, that's the left side of your brain at work. Because of this criss-cross wiring, damage to one side of the brain affects the opposite side of the body. In general, the left hemisphere is dominant in language: processing what you hear and handling most of the duties of speaking.

- The right side contributes to a number of functions, such as attention, memory, reasoning, and problem solving (all of which contribute to effective communication). Damage to the right hemisphere of the brain may lead to disruption of these cognitive processes, resulting in unique cognitive and communication problems. In many cases, the person with right brain damage is not aware of the problems that he or she is experiencing (anosognosia).

Left-sided hemiparesis Left-sided hemiparesis. Read it. (Stroke on the right side of the brain) After a stroke in the right hemisphere the patient is paralyzed on the left side of the body and vice versa. Paralysis is not always the case. In people who are right-handed, the speech and language center is located in the left hemisphere. Hemiparesis and hemiplegia.

Physical effects on either side of the brain Physical effects on either side of the brain. Stroke usually affects one side of the brain. Movement and sensation for one side of the body is controlled by the opposite side of the brain. This means that if your stroke affected the left side of your brain, you will have problems with the right side of your body. If your stroke affected the right side of your brain, you will have problems with the left side of your body. Changes that may happen after a stroke on either side of the brain include the following. Abnormal muscle tone This is a nerve problem that can make your movements slow and jerky. There are stages of muscle tone recovery: Your limb or joint may be limp and floppy.

brain The cerebral cortex is the largest part of the brain and is the area that is responsible for all our thinking activities. It is divided into two connected halves – the left and right cerebral hemispheres. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body and the right hemisphere controls the left.or example, if a person sustains a brain injury, such as a stroke, to the left hemisphere in the area of the cerebral cortex that controls movement, this may result in weakness or even paralysis of the right arm and leg.

- These include: 1  Memory loss. 2  Paralysis on the left-side of the body. Like in left-brain damage, the paralysis due to right-brain damage also can vary from patient to patient. 3  Problems in vision, especially vision problem on the left side. Mild vision problem may also occur in people with left-brain damage.

- Right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) is damage to the right side of the brain. The brain is made up of two sides or hemispheres. Each hemisphere is responsible for different body functions and skills.In most people, the left side of the brain contains the person's language functions.The right side contributes to a number of functions, such as attention, memory, reasoning, and problem solving (all of which contribute to effective communication). Stand to the person's right side and place objects to the person's right if he or she is experiencing left-side neglect. 2  Use calendars, clocks, and notepads to remind the person of important information.

Eye-Search Therapy UCL Institute of Neurology | UCL Multimedia Therefore, damage to the right side of the posterior portion of the brain can cause a loss of the left field of view in both eyes. Likewise, damage to the left posterior part of the brain can cause a loss of the right field of vision. The most common causes of this damage include stroke, brain tumour and trauma. These are the visual fields of a patient with a right-sided hemianopia tested on a machine called a Humphrey Field Analyser.

Brain Structure and Function Brain Structure and Function. The brain has two halves or hemispheres: right and left. The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, and the left hemisphere controls the right side. In most people, the left hemisphere regulates language and speech, and the right hemisphere controls nonverbal, spatial skills. If the right side of the brain is damaged, movement of the left arm and leg, vision on the left, and/or hearing in the left ear may be affected.
