22
Q

What is Bilateral Anatomical Symmetry

A

There are the same amount of structures on both sides of the body

23
Q

What is unilateral functional differences

A

stuff on your left side of brain has different functions than your right side

24
Q

what is contralateral sensorimotor control

A

your left side controls the left side of your body

your right side controls the right side of your body

25
Q

Are the left and right sides the same

A

yes, besides the planum temporal

26
Q

Neuroplasticity

A

ability to change as a result of an experience

27
Q

Functional Plasticity

A

reorganize and modify functions

adapt to internal and external changes

28
Q

Plasticity allows the brain to

A

modify itself

29
