The left side of the brain controls actions on the right side of the body and the right side of the brain controls actions on the left side of the body.

Your teacher was probably referring to ambidextrous people (im able to write, do anything actually with both hands, legs etc.) true ambidextrous people, not people that teach themselves how to do it think differently to just right handed or left handed people. Apparently i can switch my thinking to either side of my brain, over all i tend to have a "center" of thinking.  i can also read backwards and write backwards or with both hands at the same time without even thinking about it. I discovered this when i was a teenager, all my friends thought it was awesome and tried to do it! i thought it was so funny because they were all trying so hard when i didnt even have to think when i did it! \nI'm not sure if im smarter then other people, maybe i am lol! i did always get great marks in school so yer, but there are disadvantages-always have had trouble working out left from right, learning languages, trouble with figures/maths in general. All of those disadvantages are proven.\n\nYou cannot make yourself be left handed or ambidextrous and get the positives with it-like being intelligent (so they say).\nSo dont try to be, you cannot change how your brain works. \nHope this helped.

If you think the brain and the heart work together then all organs work together with the Brain.  Asthma is a respiratory disease where the bronchioles shrink and close off restricting the amount of air getting into the air sacs.  If you have a serious attack you will lose consciousness because of the lack of oxygen to your brain, but most medication can prevent this from happening.

It is the seat of the intellect, not an intellectual organ.  All cognition (thought, logic, creativity, etc) is initiated in the brain.

The first link below has a good description of the different lobes of the brain and the functional areas of the cerebral cortex (scroll down).\n\nThe second has a nice picture of the 'homunculus' showing the way body parts are 'mapped' in the sensory and motor areas of the cortex.

Physiologically, there are no differences between male and female brains.\n\nWhat is different is how they are used, and which side is dominant.  \n\nBut then again, some people regardless of gender, are right-brained.  Others are left-brained.

There are important structures in the base brain that control breathing, metabolism and other essential life sustaining issues.\n\nThe frontal is more Analytical thinking, refraining from saying odd things.  Emotional stuff.

Look in the encylopedia and look up the word brain and information pertaining to (frontal Lobes of the brain) it pertains much to what you are wanting to know. It talks about the thinking and language and control motor thrpugh the body.I found this information in a nursing handbook that I have.It was too much to type so I just gave you a briefing.

There are diffrences in the brains of people with schizophrenia. It involves many different areas of the brain. I would reccomend reading these two articles:\n\nhttp://www.schizophrenia.com/research/schiz.brain.htm\n\nhttp://www.schizophrenia.com/szresearch/archives/001062.html\n\nThe second one is an interesting study recently done.\n\nHope this helps a bit.

The right and left hemispheres of the human brain are connected by a huge nerve bundle called the corpus callosum.  In the male fetus when male hormones are generated the corpus callosum shrinks reducing cross-communication.  Because the left hemisphere deals with logic and the right hemisphere deals with emotion, women connect all logic better with emotion than men do.  Although a man can chose, he is always either logical or emotional but rarely both at the same time.  A man either flies off the handle or thinks the problem through.  A woman can weep or laugh when she discovers something that makes sense.  This explains why women are better at nurturing (cranky) children and men are better at hunting for bears (or a six pack).  You figure out the rest.  I can't.

The right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. It's also responsible for controlling imagination and creativity so the answer to your ? is yes. South-paws tend to be more creative and intuitive. I don't know so much about brilliant, though. Many of the greatest minds throughout history were housed in right-handed bodies.

The brain floats in a cushion of cerebral fluids and when a blow is strong enough to overcome the cushioning, the brain is diffusely affected; the whole brain is shocked. The brain can spend up to a week in hyper-metabolic activity, taking in many nutrients, before it recovers.

usually one testicle is bigger just as one breast is one foot is one hand is.. and one side of the brain is.. and right or left is all equal.. bigger longer and more stronger than the other

Ok- both sides of the brain are "identical" when it comes to nerves.  If it's on one side, it's on the other side in the same place (mirror image).\n\nDiagrams and images only point to one to save space and keep the page from getting messy with lines.\n\nHope this helped.

Left brain's focused attention combined with the right brain's peripheral attention, in close harmony. Good communication between the brain hemispheres is a pre-requisite for creative thinking and also a sense of wellbeing, where thoughts and feelings are integrated.\n\nRecently researches were carried out in the United States to determine the difference between a left-brain reader and a right-brain reader. A special apparatus was constructed, consisting of a television screen to present the reading material, with a cursor that the subject had to fixate upon. Eye movements were monitored electronically, so the cursor would move when the subject moved his eyes. The equipment could be set up in two modes. In the first mode, material to the left of the cursor would blank out on the screen, if the subject attempted to move his fixation point to the right of the cursor. In the second mode, material to the right of the cursor would blank out, if the subject attempted to move his fixation point to the left of the cursor.\nIn the first (left-brain) mode, when words to the left of the cursor blanked out, preventing the subject from regressing or back-skipping, this duplicated the habitual pattern of a left-brain reader, who always reads one or more words ahead of a particular fixation point. In the second (right-brain) mode, when words to the right of the cursor blanked out, preventing the subject from anticipating by reading one or two words ahead of the fixation point, this duplicated the habitual pattern of a right-brain reader, who tends to re-read the words leading up to a particular fixation point.

I think it's the left side. I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but check out the website below.

The human brain controls heartbeat, respiration, digestion and other autonomic functions. It is the seat of thought, reasoning, and abstraction. The brain is what makes the cognitive mind possible such as perception, interpretation, imagination, and memories.\n\nWhile all that is good and fine if this is a homework question for elementary school or middle school just put down that it controls thoughts and emotions or something less complicated.
