Understanding Brain Hemispheric Imbalance in Development

The chapter explores the concept of hemispheric imbalance in brain development, detailing how each hemisphere specializes in different functions like communication. It discusses how developmental asynchrony can lead to conditions such as ADHD, autism, and OCD, due to one hemisphere developing faster than the other. The discussion delves into genetic and environmental factors that contribute to these developmental asynchronies, emphasizing the importance of a balanced brain for harmonious functioning.
