Why is the left side affected after a brain hemorrhage on the right side?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
due to the crossing of nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord that cross from left side to right side. For example, motor nerves leaving the brain on the left side will decussate (cross from one side to the other) in the spinal cord so that when they leave the spinal cord, they flow out to muscles on the opposite side of the body.

∙ 15y agoYes, it is true that a part of the brain controls the opposite part of our body. The brain cells that control movement is formed into pathways, kinda like telephone wires, which cross over one another to the opposite side of the body. That may sound like a mixed up system, huh? But by crossing over, the passsways leading to the brain share the inf they need to make the two sides of the body work together.

If the person experiences injury on the right side of the brain, then the left side of the body will be affected. If the person experiences injury on the left side of the brain, then the right side of the brain will be affected

Damage to the left affects the right side. This is true even with something like vision.
