The brain has two almost symmetrical halves called hemispheres, one on the left side of the body and the other on the right. Taken as a whole, the basic plan of the brain is that of a tube filled with salty fluid called cerebrospinal fluid (csf) that cushions the brain and may play a role in removing metabolic waste.
