Left Hemisphere Functions

The left hemisphere of the brain is connected to the right side of the body and processes information sequentially and analytically. It is specialized for spoken language, arithmetic, recognizing words and numbers, and constructing false memories. The right hemisphere is connected to the left side of the body and processes information more holistically and with a focus on space. It specializes in facial recognition, places, objects, music, and spatial reasoning and is better at accurate memory recall.
