Question: I am left handed . How does this make my brain different from right hande people?

Hello! Well, the right side of the brain (right hemisphere) controls the left hand while the left side of the brain (left hemisphere) controls the right hand. This means that during brain development it is possible that the right side of your brain became more dominant!

The left brain is involved in language processing and the right brain is largely involved in spatial processing – if you are good at finding your way around this could be why!
