The Relationship Between the Right Brain and the Left Brain

The right brain, which hosts what we can also call bottom up processes, develops very early in life. It's what allows babies to transmit their internal body sensations, states and needs that require addressing. So for instance, if a child feels hunger, cold, overwhelmed, excited, fatigued, it can use different cries, gestures, facial expressions,. utter utterances to convey its internal states externally. And all this is done almost entirely mediated by the right brain. Up until the first three or four years of life, the left hemisphere is not significantly wired. The right is a realm that's less verbal. Its focusis on embodied sensory perience. It doesn't overlay conceptual ideas.
