- lateralisation of brain function
- hemisphere the two halves of the brain that carry out different functions ; physical and physiological
- cerebral dominance the side of the brain that does the most work
- different functions are dominant in each hemisphere.

- hemisphere the two halves of the brain that carry out different functions ; physical and physiological
- cerebral dominance the side of the brain that does the most work
- different functions are dominant in each hemisphere.
- Broca's and wernicke Ares are only found in the left hemisphere
- right hemisphere - spatial comprehension ,emotions and face recognition
- left hemisphere- handles language functions; logic, analysis and problem solving
- Broca's and wernicke Ares are only found in the left hemisphere
- different functions are dominant in each hemisphere.
- cerebral dominance the side of the brain that does the most work
- lateralisation is the dominance of one side of the brain for a particular function , it is how much one function is located in one hemisphere than another
- the limbc system
- controls our emotions
- around the central core of the brain; interconnected with hypothalamus, it contains structures such as the hippo campus; key roles in memory
- Hypothalamus and the amygdala are in the limbic system
- the cerebrum
- regulates our higher intellectual processes
- has an outer most layer known as the cerebral cortex- appears grey because of the location of cell bodies
- bundles of fibres known as the corpus callosum
- sensory systems send messages to and from the cerebral cortex
- corpus callosum allows information to be transferred between hemispheres
