== Possible Unreliable Source? ==
Schroeder, Thomas (15 July 2023). "Left-Brain, Right-Brain Reconceptualized: A New Neuroscientific Understanding of an Old Divide". Medium.
This source is quoted three times but is simply a medium post by someone with no actual expertise in neuroscience, in the very article cited they're selling a book that claims to teach you to "develop both sides of the brain’s neocortex". Considering that the author has a vested financial interest in their claim being true and has no apparent quailification, I think it's odd that they would be cited instead of directly citing the article by Elkhonon Goldberg (who by all accounts is an expert in this field of study). This is especially strange seeing as the Schroeder medium post relies entirely on the Goldberg article. I understand wikipedia prefers secondary and tertiary sources but a more reputable one would be preferable.

:Agreed. The Medium article falls into the same old pop-science trap of wildly extrapolating neuroscientific theories into broad descriptions of the patterns of peoples behaviour, despite no evidence actually being given to link the two together (or even that such variations corresponding with left/right-brainedness even exist in the first place!). Despite claiming to be a more nuanced understanding, it still presupposes the existance of left- and right-brained peoplem, and uses the authority of Elkhonon Goldberg to argue for points not supported by his research.

== Hemispheric Asymmetry ==
Many sweeping generalizations have been made about right and left hemisphere function which are hard to justify. One such claim is that the left hemisphere is specialized for local, detailed, serial processing, whereas the right hemisphere is more specialized for global, holistic, parallel processing.

== Possible New Content ==
Hello! I'm finished with my edits for my Wiki Education assignment. I wanted to give an outline of some recommended improvements for this article:
1) Add sections under lateralized functions for visuospatial processing, theory of mind, and "The Interpreter" hypothesis (which I think is what "Value Systems" is trying to explain).
2) More sources for lateralization of language.
3) Add small section about handedness + its relation to language (maybe within the motor system section).
4) Evolutionary basis of lateralization + other animals
5) Developmental and genetic basis of lateralized functions
