What activites do scientists believe are affected by the left side of the brain?

It is now generally accepted that language production and understanding is enabled dominantly by areas in the left hemisphere

right brain = creativity and intuition (think pictures).  left brain = math and logic (think numbers).  To me both sides have cabability for rational thought.  The logic in the left brain is more mathematically tuned.  \nEasy way to remember: creative is right (both have more letters in the word), while math is left (both have only 4 letters).\nI am ambidextrous, which means both sides of my brain are almost equal in dominance.  I favor the left hand slightly more, and am also an artist.  Most natural artists are left handed which means they use the right side of the brain more with their creativity.

1. Keep balance on everything you do. Consume, rest, exercise & excrete enough.\n2. Practice to focus on anything you do. Don't tag along to other subjects while working on another.\n3. While reading, put on 60 beats instrumental classical music. It helps activate your right hemisphere so it won't bother the left one with emotional thoughts & feelings including boredom, sleepiness.\n4. Keep away distractions while working. If you're a visual person, avoid places where lots of people going by, or avoid a room with a TV in it. If you're an auditorial person, avoid noisy places.\n5. Take a break every 20 minutes. Do a relaxation before get back to your work. Human attention/concentration span is taking an increasing pattern to a peak then sloping down. So you have to know when to stop.

left -side vs. right-side brain damage caused by stroke will have different symptoms. aphasia-the ability to speak,understand speech,and put words together that make sense ,can happen in various degrees depending on the damage ,but the most severe forms will be produced after the left side of the brain our main speech center is damaged ,but not all language is lost because the are different speech centers in our brain,brocas and wernickes are the main ones,if your left side of the brain is affected then you will experience left sided weakness or paralysis,and if the rightside of your brain is affected you will have left sideded weakness or paralysis,sometimes no residual physical deficits remain-weakness in right or leftside and doctors can use your physical complaints as indicators then they can see the area affected on a ct scan or pet scan a neurlolgist can read eeg waves to see areas with decreased brain activity as he or she stimulates certain areas of the brain and elicits or fails to elicit an expected response measured in the eeg which looks similar to the line of an ekg which shows your pqrst waves but an eeg has different waves the results are pages and pages long,there is also a nuerological assessment,the doctor does starting by asking questions to see if you are oriented to person,place,time,event,and he tests reflexes ,hand grips,pupils for reflexes like dolls eyes ,these things indicate if the cranial nerves are damaged or intact and which nerve is damaged,different nerves have specific reflexes to be assessed,

left hemipelegia. Remember, each hemisphere of the brain controls the opposite side of the body.

No - the brain is an organ. However, you can "exercise" it by learning new things and solving problems.  Keeping your brain active helps to stimulate new brain cells and possibly fight dementia in later years.

You had better believe it....If we treat our machines like we treat our bodies, we would be considered as being reckless. Improving brain cells can be accomplished by (basically) the following points.\n\nSTAYING MENTALLY ACTIVE: Mentally stimulating activities strengthen brain cells and the connections between them, and may even create new nerve cells.\n \n REMAINING SOCIALLY ACTIVE: Social activity not only makes physical and mental activity more enjoyable, it can reduce stress levels, which helps maintain healthy connections among brain cells.\n \nSTAY PHYSICALLY ACTIVE:Physical exercise is essential for maintaining good blood flow to the brain as well as to encourage new brain cells. It also can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes, and thereby protect against those risk factors for Alzheimer's and other dementias. \n \nADOPTING A BRAIN-HEALTHY DIET:Research suggests that high cholesterol may contribute to stroke and brain cell damage. A low fat, low cholesterol diet is advisable. And there is growing evidence that a diet rich in dark vegetables and fruits, which contain antioxidants, may help protect brain cells.

This sounds like poor circulation on the left side of your body.  It could even be vindictive of something more serious, just as a brain injury, tumor, or nervious disorder such as muscular distrophy or parkinson's disease.  Don't just sit around and wait for it to go away, because you could have a claught which can be life threatening.  Goto your doctor, and like as soon as you can.  This could be life threatening, or not, don't panic just seek some professional advice.

there is a part of the brain that deals with that activity, the hand we use to pick up stuff or write, and from what i was told (i am left-handed by the way!)it is the side that is located that determines if you will be left-handed or right-handed. Left-handed people are no less intelligent then right-handed people OK?

the right side of your brain is thought to be involved with creativity whilst the left is thought to be logic based, therefore an artistic person would be said to be right brain dominant and vice versa.  Incidentally the two halves are linked by a channel called the corpus collosum and both sides act to a degree in tandem. Women have been shown to have greater activity in the right side of their brains, proven by MRI scans (magnetic resonance indicator). It has been suggested that from primate times there was a greater inclination toward the right side in women due to evolotionary pressure to nurture and be compassionate, conversely males were more inclined to hunt and those males with greater sense of logic were more succesful. This can be seen to this day as women are far more able to multi task than men are, i know, the bank fired me because i couldnt talk and count out money at the same time. Result= £1400 down in the space of a month. What a bummer

I think it's the left side. I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but check out the website below.

Lying caused activity in the frontal part of the brain - the medial inferior and pre-central areas, as well as the hippocampus and middle temporal regions and the limbic areas. \n\nDuring a truthful response, the fMRI showed activation of parts of the brain's frontal lobe, temporal lobe and cingulate gyrus.

100%  That 10% saying is bogus.  All of the brain is being used for something, whether it's memory, moving muscles, regulating heartbeat etc.  There is a smaller portion of it used for consciousness.

Some research suggests that it is due to differences in the physical structure of the brain.  Specifically , the strength of the neurons in the Corpus Collosum (the fibers in the middle of the brain that unite the two hemispheres).  It is also due to the nature and structure of the limbic system, and how the brain relegates the hormonal balance in the body.

I am concerned that you might have had a stroke, or has this always been the case.  If it was just your hand,  would assume  you were right handed, and just had to work the left more.  But you detail that your whole left side is week.  Look at your smile, does the left side droop?\n\nIf not a sroke, a fun exercise is to do normal things with your left hand, like brushing your teeth, shaving.  It takes concentration but you will learn and it will improve your coordination.

9 to 3. studies show that a person's brain does not fully become active until 9 o'clock.
