    So glad that you found this information and shared it. There is so much misinformation about brain function going around that every correction helps a little.

    Hi Abby,
    I enjoyed looking at your poster. It was interesting to learn about what the different hemispheres of the brain do. This information also helps debunk a lot of misinformaiton about how people think they are left or right brained. Great Job!
