The answer is lateralization. Lateralization is the difference between hemispheres in the areas underlying language function.
EXPLANATION
Lateralization in the brain means that there is a tendency of the brain to have some cognitive processes being specialized in only one side of the brain. The brain itself has separated as two-part of hemispheres: the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. The right hemisphere and the left hemisphere are connected by some sort of bridge in the brain. The bridge is called the corpus callosum.
The right hemisphere and the left hemisphere have identical look and identical macrostructures. Meanwhile, the right and left hemispheres have completely different compositions of neuronal networks. Because of the differences in neuronal networks, each hemisphere has different functions.
The brain structures’ lateralization is basically from the general trends that are expressed by healthy patients. There are a lot of counterexamples for each generalization. The human brain is different from one another. The differences lay in how the brain develops from childhood. The development of the brain eventually will lead to the unique lateralization that will be experienced by each individual.
Lateralization is best applied in Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas on the brain. They are both on the left side of the hemisphere. The areas of Broca’s and Wernicke’s correspond with handedness, so the localization of these areas is found on the hemisphere with the dominant hand.
