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[[neuron]]al 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.
