What hemisphere of the brain would be able to retrieve a person's name from memory?
The brain's right hemisphere controls non-visual memory, and the retention of non-visual information, so the right hemisphere of the brain would be the one that would be involved with the retrieval of a person's name from his or her memory.
What terms refers to one halves of the brain?
Right, or left hemisphere.
It only takes one hemisphere to have a mind?
It is true that it only takes one hemisphere to have a mind. The process of removing one half of the brain is known as hemispherectomy.
What is a focal lesion on the temporal lobe?
Distinct damage to one area of the brain. The temporal lobe of the brain has many functions. Some of which: hearing and language processing and facial recognition. Depending on which hemisphere (right v. left) the damage occurs, the person can have many deficits in communication (esp. if on the dominant hemisphere, left for most people).
What part of the brain controls knowledge?
Since there are two cerebral hemispheres, and also two hands (in a normal person) it works out very neatly; each side of the brain controls one hand. The left cerebral hemisphere controls the right hand, and the right cerebral hemisphere controls the left hand.
What do the hemispheres in the brain control?
The left hemisphere of the human brain controls language, and thinking skills, and the right hemisphere controls all motor functions. Any thought that person has is derived from the left hemisphere of that person's brain. If a person is speaking, the words are being formed in the left hemiphere, but in order for the mouth to open and for the tongue and lips to move in order to be able to speak the words, the right hemisphere needs to work. If a person picks up a ball and then throws it, that person's brain's right hemisphere was working. A person reaches out and touches a pan. The pan is on the stove and is very hot, and when the person touches it, that person's hand jerks away from it. The arm reaching out to touch the pan was a voluntary action, but the hand jerking away was a reflex, which is an involuntary action. Involuntary actions or movements are not controlled by the brain at all. A reflex is when the nerves detect something harmful (i.e. skin contact to a hot object, or cutting one's self against something sharp accidentally) and the nerves in the spine detect the nerve impulses and automatically send a new impules to the motor nerves of the muscle that can move the body away from harm (i.e. the hand touching something hot and then being jerked away).
What is the process in which certain cognitive functions are located more in one hemisphere of the brain than in the other?
lateralization
How does focal epilepsy show up on EEG?

Who is directly attached to the brain?
Only one person is attached per human brain. Each individual person is attached to their own brain.
What is cerebral dominance?
The brain hemisphere is located on the left side of the corpus collasum. This is responsible for regulating the activities on the right part of the body. Brain hemisphere is also responsible for speech and language functions.
Who is directly attached to the human brain?
Only one person is attached per human brain. Each individual person is attached to their own brain.
