Left and Right Brain<br />
The brain is divided into two parts or ‘hemispheres’. The left side<br />
of the brain controls the right side of the body and the right side<br />
of the brain controls the left side of the body.<br />
The right side of the brain takes visual information and interprets<br />
it creatively. The left is the logical and analytical side. It takes the<br />
information collected by the right side and analyses and applies<br />
language to it.<br />
People with right side injuries often deny having an injury as the<br />
brain does not realise that something is missing. If you have an<br />
injury to the left side, you may know something is wrong. You<br />
may find it difficult to solve complex problems and consequently<br />
you may feel depressed because of this.<br />
