      I though it was supposed to be one side for logic and one side for creativity, give or take? Although you do tend to lose movement on one side of the body if part of your brain is damaged by a stroke.

      The brain is way too complicated for me: if bits of it get damaged, then sometimes other parts can take on the role of the damaged bit, at least to an extent. Incredible thing, the brain!
