Detailed explanation-1: -Each hemisphere is in charge of the opposite side of the body, so your right brain controls your left hand. The right hemisphere also takes in sensory input from your left side and vice versa. The brain is segmented into regions called lobes. Your lobes isolate your brain’s functions to specific areas.
