Cerebral Hemispheres and Corresponding Areas on the Body.


Recommended Posts

Why is it that certain areas of the Cortex on one Cerebral hemispheres will only receive information from the opposite side of the body.

For example if a person has a stroke damaging areas of thier left motor cortex, than movement on the right hand side of the body will be affected. Surely having to cross over requires more neurons giving a slight, but measurable difference in reaction time?
