== Right/left brain ==

Studies agree that as nonverbal cues are sent and received, they are more strongly influenced by modules of the right-side neocortex (esp. in right-handed individuals) than they are by left-sided modules. Anatomically, this is reflected a. in the greater volume of white matter (i.e., of [[myelin]]ated [[axon]]s which link [[neurons]]) in the right neocortical hemisphere, and b. in the greater volume of gray matter (i.e., of neurons) in the left. The right brain's superior fiber linkages enable its neurons to better communicate with [[feeling]]s, [[memory|memories]], and [[sense]]s, thus giving this side its deeper-reaching holistic, nonverbal, and "big picture" skills. The left brain's superior neuronal volume, meanwhile, allows for better communication among the neocortical neurons themselves, which gives this side a greater analytic and intellectually narrower "focus". Research by UCLA neuroscientist, [[Daniel Geschwind]] and colleagues shows that left-handers have more symmetric brains, due to genetic control.
