Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The right cerebral hemisphere controls the activity and receives sensory input from the left side of the body due to contralateral organization of the brain. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body. However, the right hemisphere is not typically considered the analytical half of the cerebrum and does not contain the language centers (which are mainly in the left hemisphere). The volume and mass of the two hemispheres can vary between individuals.
