Document Summary

Language tends to be lateralized to the le2 side. If we injure one half, this can cause language di cul6es if le2 side damaged. If right side, spa6al processing hampered (face, naviga6ng space, mental rota6on tasks, coun6ng on ngers) In females and le2 handed people as they tend to be less lateralized, when they have damage over the other, some de cits don;t seem as prominent. The other half is capable to compensate. If more lateralized, more likely to see language de cits if they had damage to the le2 side. Frontal: high level execu6ve func6ons: planning scheduling, novel problem solved in a limited period of 6me, speech , language, motor control. Parietal: back half of brain: separated from frontal lobe by the central sulcus (big deep groove in the middle of the brain) passes over both hemispheres.
