Reply to comment by Paradox_Dolphin in For children who had a major stroke to the left hemisphere of their brain within days of their birth, the infant's brain was 'plastic' enough for the right hemisphere to acquire the language abilities ordinarily handled by the left side while also maintaining its own language abilities as well. by Wagamaga
Yes. While over simplified, think of the brain as 3 major parts. Left, right, and lower. Think of the brain as a giant circle with the connections. Left and right are connected, and both are connected to the lower part.
We have cut the connection between the left and right parts. From it some pretty interesting experiments, studies, and realization have shown up.
Like the theory that each of your brain hemispheres are both conscious in some way, having their own likes and dislikes. Like experiments where they would be asked to reach out with both hands and pick their favorite color... And yet each hand would choose a different color.
