Neuroscientist explains how the brain processes language differently in each hemisphere, impacting speech perception and development.

While most people attribute their language capability to their left hemisphere, this atypical group of left-handers utilizes their right hemisphere to speak.

In contrast, male mice had a very sensitive right hemisphere critical window, but no detectable window on the left. This points to the elusive role sex may play in brain plasticity.

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.

Some of the most complex cognitive functions are possible because different sides of your brain control them. Chief among them is speech perception, the ability to interpret language. In people ...
