However, the popular idea that people are either "left-brained" (logical and analytical) or "right-brained" (creative and artistic) is a myth. While each hemisphere does have specific specializations, they work together as a synchronized whole.

Key functions associated with the left hemisphere include: * Language: This includes the production and comprehension of speech, as well as reading and writing. Key language areas like Broca's area (speech production) and Wernicke's area (language comprehension) are usually located in the left hemisphere. * Logic and Reasoning: The left brain is cruci...
