How many hemispheres in the brain?

The cerebrum is divided into the right and left hemispheres. They communicate with each other through a thick bundle of nerve fibres called the corpus callosum. The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, while the left hemisphere controls the right side.

Brain divide

The brain’s left side tends to control verbal and written skills, and logical thought. The right side tends to be where creative and emotional impulses come from. But the sides work together in a complex way that we don’t yet fully understand.
