The brain is the main organ
of the central nervous
system of the vast majority
of chordates. The cortex
consists of two hemispheres
connected by a bundle of
nerve fibers — the corpus
callosum. The left
hemisphere is responsible
for the right half of the body,
the right — for the left. In
humans, the right and left
hemispheres have different
functions.

Logic and pattern
creativity
recognition
adaptability
The right hemisphere is able
to perceive information as a
intuition
whole, work through many
channels at once and, in conditions of lack of
information, restore the whole in its parts. It is
customary to correlate creativity, intuition, and
adaptability with his work.It provides the perception of
reality in its entirety of diversity and complexity, in
general with all its constituent elements.

Organization of speech
• Forms the integrity of semantic
content, provides empirical and
imaginative thinking, creates
associations based on visual and
sensory representations of the
subject;
• It is based on a figurative
representation of the objective world;
• People whose speech functions are concentrated in the right
hemisphere retain phonemic and semantic abilities, but have a
lack of syntactic abilities.

Processing of
nonverbal
information:
Specializes in
processing
information that
is expressed
not in words,
but in symbols
and images.
Imagination:
Gives us the
opportunity to
dream and
fantasize, to
compose various
stories. Also
responsible for
the ability to
music and visual
arts.
Parallel
processing of
information:
Сan
simultaneously
process a variety
of information –
considers the
situation as a
whole, without
applying analysis.

Conclusion
The right hemisphere is responsible for the perception of visual
images, colors, creativity, imaginative thinking, perception of
what is happening in general, location, spatial orientation,
imagination, the implementation of several processes
simultaneously, combining them together.
But it is impossible to say for sure that there is a clear division
of functions between the right and left hemispheres. There are
precedents in medical practice when a part of the brain was
removed to a patient, and nearby departments (on the right or
left) completely assumed the function of the removed part. The
brain is very plastic and adapts to changes.
