The left side of your brain controls what part of the body?

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.
