Right brain vs left brain and brain injury

Are you right brained or left brained. You are actually both brained. Both sides of our brains work together. If you have an injury on the right side of your brain, you may have left sided neglect.

Iain Mcgilchrist suggests that the left hemisphere is stubborn and arrogant, and this may contribute to Marys unwillingness to accept that her left hand is hers. Whereas someone with a functioning right hemisphere, is more likely to accept corrections

Hi there, Dr. Gooch, this is Steven Pratt. This was an interesting overview of brain function. Some I've heard before, but some was new. Neglect in this context is so interesting. I wonder if certain regions of the brain can fatigue faster than others and create distortions in otherwise neuro-typical people, causing car accidents and such. Thank you for the food for thought.

This is amazing info Doctor. I wish I could help my sister. She had an ETV to relieve hydrocephalus about 4 years ago.

Now she has constant headaches and severe panic attacks. We thought she will be good after about 2 years but its still really bad. Also the vertigo doesn't help.

I feel powerless. She had a few MRIs and scans done since the surgery but its really bad.

Any suggestions please?

Thank you in advance

My brain was OK but now I have Anomic Aphasia so it is not working very well at all. No idea which side it is.

So interesting! This makes me wonder if that’s why I never could excel at learning a second language.
