Is brain lateralization good thing?

Brain lateralization, where different cognitive functions are more dominant in one hemisphere than the other, can be beneficial as it allows for specialized processing and efficiency in tasks. For example, language is often localized in the left hemisphere, while spatial abilities may be more associated with the right. However, excessive lateralization can lead to challenges, such as reduced flexibility in thinking and impaired function if one hemisphere is damaged. Overall, a balance between lateralization and integration of both hemispheres is ideal for optimal cognitive functioning.


When age is brain lateralization completed?
