There is only one place in the brain where nerves actually cross each other. I believe it is the Optic nerve and the Trochlear nerve. I'll add a picture under the weblink

What is the optic intersection in the brain?

The optic chiasm is the point near the base of the brain where the optic nerves from each eye partially cross over to the opposite side of the brain. This crossover allows information from the left visual field to be processed in the right side of the brain, and vice versa.


Why does the left side of the brain control the right side of the body and vice versa What benefit can this possibly bring to efficient brain functioning?

The physical reason is that the nerves cross over each other inside the brain, and nerves on the right side of the brain cross to run down the left side of the body, etc. Nobody really knows exactly why this evolved.


What is the nerves from the left side of the body cross over into the right side of the brain and vice versa is the?

The nerves from the left side of the body cross over to the right side of the brain at the level of the brainstem in a structure called the medulla oblongata. This process is known as decussation, which allows for information from one side of the body to be processed in the opposite hemisphere of the brain.


Does the right side of your brain control the right side of the body?

Yes, the nerves projecting from each hemisphere cross at the medulla, causing the left side of the brain to control movement in the right of the body, and vice versa.


Where is the cranial located?

The cranial nerves are located outside of the brain and skull. These nerves come right from the brain and brain stem.


Why doesn't damage in the right visual cortex result in blindness of the right eye?

The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. Also the optic nerves cross over when they leave the eyes.


Is vision contra-laterally controlled by the brain?

Yes, vision is contralaterally controlled by the brain. The left side of the brain processes information from the right visual field, while the right side of the brain processes information from the left visual field. This is due to the way that the optic nerves from each eye cross over at the optic chiasm.


What happens at the optic chiasm?

At the optic chiasm, located at the base of the brain, the optic nerves from each eye partially cross over. This crossover allows visual information from the right visual field of each eye to be processed by the left side of the brain and vice versa. This arrangement enables the brain to integrate visual input from both eyes for a comprehensive visual perception.


Because major nerves cross over each other beneath the cerebrum your left brain is likely to be associated with your right hand as well as with?

Verbal, logical, and analytical thinking.


What happens to the nerves when they are damaged?

messages to the brain will be canceled and your body won't work right.


The left side of the brain controls right side of the body and vice versa..what do you call the part where they meet?

The corpus callosum connects the two brain hemispheres. It is a bundle of nerves.


Which four sense organs send nerves right into the brain?

The eyes (vision), ears (hearing), nose (smell), and tongue (taste) send nerves directly to the brain to process sensory information. These sense organs have specialized receptors that detect stimuli from the environment and convert them into signals that are transmitted to the brain for interpretation.
