> however, it of course follows the same structure on both sides. the superior frontal gyrus is gonna be in approximately the same spot on either side, the uncus gyrus in approximately the same spot, the pre&post central gyri in approximately the same spot on either side of the central sulcus.

Could you compare it to the body being symmetrical because you have one hand on each side, but that doesn't mean your hands themselves are exactly symmetrical - e.g. fingers could have different lengths.

Not really. Arms and legs have way too simple a function to be comparable and internal organs are completely asymmetrical.

Why do you say that? Are they always symmetrical? What about phantom limbs or the cannibalisation of certain areas?

How does limb dominance factor into that?
