Title: Right or left side strokes. Better?
Post by: CarbonRobot on Oct 13, 2022
A person in a different forum said,

"They say statistically is far better to have an aneurysm in your left hemisphere than your right because of the right hemisphere's powers of global contextuality. The damaged brain is better at re-adapting/re-wiring with help from a healthy right hemisphere than the reversed."

Is this true, or an exaggeration?

His/her response could just be opinion based. Check this:

The side of the ruptured aneurysms (right or left) did not influence patients’ outcome. However, the aneurysm-side predicts the side of delayed infarctions and outcome appear to be worse in patients with left-sided infarctions.
