Are Lefties Right Brained?

Since left-handed professionals are right-brain dominant, this means they are more likely to follow that creative flow of information or processing.

What side of the brain is dominant in a left-handed person?

Specifically, in left-handers, the motor cortex in the right side of the brain (the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, and vice versa) is dominant for fine motor behavior. In contrast, in right-handers, the left motor cortex is better at fine motor tasks such as writing.

Do left-handed people's brains work differently?

Researchers have identified, for the first time, the genetic differences between right-handed and left-handed people. In left-handed people, both sides of the brain tend to communicate more effectively. This means that left-handed people may have superior language and verbal ability.
