   Located under the cerebrum
Brainstem

   Performs many automatic

Joined by a bundle of fibers called corpus callosum
the hemisphere controls speech, comprehension, arithmetic, and righting.
Right hemisphere controls creativity, spatial ability, artistic, and music skills.]]> 2019-03-20 18:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/s23talbritton/cm49uuuu2tln/wish/343499388 s23talbritton https://padlet.com/s23talbritton/cm49uuuu2tln/wish/343503580 One thing that stood out to me today was that the right side of brain controls the left side of the body and vise versus.
