left handers' brains
I've heard that 25% of left handed people process language in the right hemisphere of their brains instead of the right side like most people. Does this mean that other processes usually in the right hemisphere occur instead in the left, effectively "flipping" the brain? If so, does this only occur in part of the brain or all? All lobes or only some? Are the sensory and motor strips also flipped?
Thank you in advance.

well firstly, they still havent discovered exactly where and how language is processed, what makes us unique from other animals. however, it definitely includes both sides of the brain. now, it does tend to show more activation on the left side, but it still uses both sides. left handed people just might use the other side more. in fact, i dont think i have ever heard of any thought process taking place in just one side.
the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body, and vice versa. the more you use your body, the more tendrills in the corresponding side develop, therefore, for right handed people, the left side typically gets more developed, and thus would take on a bigger role in complicated processes.
if you use your non dominant hand for mundane tasks like brushing your teeth, you will actually cause more tendrills to grow in that side, and its quicker than usual because you have to focus on it since its not a natural movement.

i'm left - handed, so i should be able to give you a decent answer.
most people process language in the left hemisphere of their brain, but lefties actually use both hemispheres.
most lefties are right brained instead of left brained, which means they are more imaginative instead of logical. right brained people are rare.
as far as i know, left - handed people use their brain in the same way as right - handed people, but most of the time, the right side of our brain is dominant.
scientists haven't even begun to divulge into how the human brain works, but i'm pretty sure senses and whatnot remain the same.
