Babies and children are more reliant on the right hemisphere than the left🧠
The cerebral hemispheres are more independent in babies and children, and they are also more reliant on the right hemisphere, which matures earlier than the left, and it may be that it is the increasing importance of left hemisphere function with age that necessitates the separation, in both hemispheres’ interests, of their realms of activity. The Berlin Wall that meets this need would be the increasingly efficient corpus callosum.
