 Pavlov's Work of the Cerebral Hemisphere
On the one hand, the study of the cerebral hemispheres, as of all other parts of the organism, seems to come within the scope of physiology, but on the other hand, it is an object of study by a special branch of science - psychology.
The reason is clear, the work of the cerebral hemispheres has never been regarded from the same point of view as that of other organs of the body, or even other parts of the central nervous system.
A bold attempt to apply the idea of the reflex to the cerebral hemispheres not only of animals but also of man, was made by I. Sechenov, the Russian physiologist, on the basis of the contemporary physiology of the nervous system.

We think that the left hemisphere narrows meaning activation to those concepts likely to be relevant in a particular language context, while the right hemisphere maintains a range of alternative meanings, some of which may not "fit" with the immediate context.
In particular, the right hemisphere appears to be important for maintaining the accessibility of both close and distantly related word meanings, while the left hemisphere maintains just the most closely related word meanings (Chiarello, et al., 1990; Chiarello and Richards, 1992; Chiarello, et al., 2003).
In a preliminary study (Chiarello, et al., 2004) we examined whether individuals who show inconsistent cortical asymmetries (favoring the left hemisphere for some structures, and the right hemisphere for others) are the same individuals who show inconsistent behavioral asymmetries (obtaining a RVF advantage on some language tasks, but not others).

 Title: Ipsilateral Involvement/Deficits in Cerebral Hemisphere Strokes
Major reasons for not detecting ipsilateral deficits in clinical practice are their relative subtlety, poor knowledge of the presence of deficits, failure to use sensitive tests, use of ipsilateral side as the reference for impairment in the hemiplegic/paretic side and the emphasis placed on contralateral in rehabilitation.
Therefore, rehabilitation is focused towards the recovery of function of the contralateral side of the stroke.
Differences between studies may be explained in part by the side of the lesion, the length of time since the stroke, the types of task performed, and the level of independence of the subjects.

 THE MODERN PHRENOLOGY OF THE CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES
As to hemisphere function, the tendency is to see the left hemisphere as more concerned with focussed attention and sequential, analytical processing of unpredictable material; while the right hemisphere seems more concerned with the holistic patterns, rhythms and expectations that provide the personal background and context to action.
"The idea of a duality between the hemispheres was prompted by the discovery of right-hemispheric superiority for certain skills in commissurotomized patients and was a necessary corrective to the earlier notions of the left hemisphere as the major hemisphere....

 Cerebral
Thus, rather than showing one hemisphere of the brain dominant over the other, Leonardo’s perspectival skills point to an exceptional integration of the brain that does not support the sort of polar typing of traits based on brain structure.
The representation of linearly changing spatial relationships of elements is brilliantly solved in Leonardo’s use of tomographic “slices.” Here again, the intensely linear and analytic is combined with holistic 3D visual rendering.
Whatever his internal self-doubts, he seems to have learned how to move with ease among a very sophisticated group of people.

Schizophrenia is associated with greater left cerebral hemisphere dysfunction and depression and other affective disorders are associated with greater right hemisphere dysfunction.
EEG experiments have also provided evidence for rhythms of alternating cerebral cortical activity during sleep, which are coupled to the phases of REM (rapid eye movement) and nonREM sleep cycles.
The consistent and selective effect of forced uninostril breathing in normal subjects on the general pattern of EEG activity in the hemispheres suggests the possibility of therapeutic approaches to states where hemispheric dysfunction has been shown to occur.

 Talk:Cerebral hemisphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have seen it asserted that scientific research has found that mathematics is done with the left brain.
The best thing to do is try to find pics of a human brain and compare the differences for yourself, because I'm not doing such a great job explaining what the differences are.
Again, it's a subtle thing, and you would have to look at the patterns of sulci in each hemisphere closely, but you'll see that there are definitely differences.
