The left side of the brain primarily controls the right side of the body. This is due to the crossing over of nerve fibers, known as decussation, in the brainstem. This means that if there is damage to the left side of the brain, it can affect motor function on the right side of the body and vice versa.


Why is the left side affected after a brain hemorrhage on the right side?

due to the crossing of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord that cross from left side to right side. For example, motor nerves leaving the brain on the left side will decussate (cross from one side to the other) in the spinal cord so that when they leave the spinal cord, they flow out to muscles on the opposite side of the body.
