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.

Neurons cross from the right side to the left, as do neurons cross from the left to the right, meaning your right side of your brain controls your left, and your left controls your right side.


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.


Which part of the brain does Alzheimer's affect right or left side?

Alzheimer's disease primarily affects the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, which are located in both the right and left sides of the brain. These regions are important for memory, thinking, and reasoning, and are typically affected by the degeneration of neurons in Alzheimer's disease.


What side of the brain does the right side control of the body?

The left side of the brain deals more with language and helps to analyze information given to the brain. If you injure the left side of the brain, you're aware that things aren't working (the right hemisphere is doing its job) but are unable to solve complex problems or do a complex activity.

What does affected side mean?

The right side of your brain processes and controls the left side of your body and senses, and the left does the same for the right. If you have a stroke, or trauma, to the right side of your brain then your left side of your body will be the affected side. The same for the left side of your brain. Damage to the left affects the right side. This is true even with something like vision. The left halves of each individual eye's visual field is processed by the right side of your occipital lobe, and the right by the left.

Is it more common to be right brained dominant or left brain dominant?

I'm not sure but I would say "Left brained". They say that the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body and the right side of your brain controls the left side. Most people are right handed and their dominant eye is their right one. Therefore I would guess it's the left.

What is the diffence between left side stroke and right side?

Right BrainThe effects of a stroke depend on several factors, including the location of the obstruction and how much brain tissue is affected. However, because one side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body, a stroke affecting one side will result in neurological complications on the side of the body it affects. For example, if the stroke occurs in the brain's right side, the left side of the body (and the right side of the face) will be affected, which could produce any or all of the following:Paralysis on the left side of the bodyVision problemsQuick, inquisitive behavioral styleMemory lossLeft BrainIf the stroke occurs in the left side of the brain, the right side of the body will be affected, producing some or all of the following:Paralysis on the right side of the bodySpeech/language problemsSlow, cautious behavioral styleMemory loss
