What is meant by contralateral information entering and leaving the brain?
Contralateral information entering the brain refers to sensory input from one side of the body (e.g., left side) being processed in the opposite hemisphere of the brain (e.g., right hemisphere). Similarly, contralateral information leaving the brain involves motor commands being sent from one hemisphere to control movements on the opposite side of the body. This organization is due to the crossing-over of nerve fibers in the brainstem.
What is the opposite of ipsilateral?
The opposite of ipsilateral is contralateral, which refers to structures or functions on opposite sides of the body or brain.
What is a contralateral pathway?
A contralateral motor pathway is a neutral pathway located at the opposite side of the brain. It is on the eighth nerve of the cochlear nucleus.
What is contralateral control in the brain?
A contralateral response is when a stimulus is sensed on one side of the spinal column, but the response and effectors of that stimulus occur on the opposite side of the spinal column. This is opposed to an ipsilateral response in which the stimulus and response are both on the same side of the spinal column
Why might it be beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body?
It is beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body because of the position and connection to the brain that our eyes have. Since light from the right visual field strikes the left side of the eye and light from the left side strikes the right side of the eye, the connections (each eye predominantly connects to the same side of the brain though there are connections to both sides and information is transferred at the optic chiasm) allow visual information from the opposite side (both sides, but opposite is important for the answer) of the body to reach the brain. Being able to respond to information on the side of the body that the given hemisphere of the brain controls is key to an animals survival.

What does contralateral response mean?
Contralateral response refers to a reaction or phenomenon that occurs on the opposite side of the body to where the stimulus is applied. This term is commonly used in neuroscience and medicine to describe how the brain processes and responds to stimuli.
What is it called when the left hemisphere of your brain controls movement on the right side of your body?
I suppose you could call it something like "contralateral motor control" but since it's not an unusual phenomenon (that's just how the brain and spinal cord are wired), there's not a particular non-highly-technical term for it.
What is contralateral neglect?
Contralateral neglect is a disturbance of the patient's ability to respond to stimuli on the side of the body opposite (contralateral) to the side of brain lesion, in the absence of simple sensory or motor deficits. Patients with contralateral neglect often behave as though the left side of their world does not exist and they often fail to appreciate that they have a problem. The disturbance is often associated with large lesions of the right posterior parietal lobe. In one example, Mrs. T acquired contralateral neglect following a massive stroke in the posterior portion of her right hemisphere.
What side of the motor area of the brain must give the command to move the right arm?
The left side of the motor area of the brain, specifically the left primary motor cortex, is responsible for controlling movements of the right arm. This is because of the contralateral organization of the motor pathways in the brain, where each hemisphere controls movement on the opposite side of the body.
What is the difference between contralateral and bilateral movements in the context of motor control?
Contralateral movements involve one side of the body moving independently from the other side, controlled by the opposite hemisphere of the brain. Bilateral movements involve both sides of the body moving simultaneously, controlled by both hemispheres of the brain working together.
What is the medical term meaning the protective mechanism that blocks chemicals from entering brain tissue?
The blood brain barrier blocks chemicals from entering brain tissue.
