But the question all experts ask: Are these differencies in the left-handers brain the cause of the left-handing or its result? The fact that the brain works in a different and inegual way could only be a consequence of manipulating the world by the hand controlled by the right side of the brain that is more imaginative instead of the left side that is logic and analysing. The fact of using a hand makes the brain half who controls it more important than the other And if a side is more important, it is responsible of the division of the roles in the brain parts So, it is simply that the the right side of the brain will divide the tasks in a imprevisible way contrarily to the left side an imprevisible way to divide the tasks and roles in the brain makes that there's more chance that the brain takes the form that produces mental illness That's what I know about it but it is only a theory - Max
