In other words this left side of the brain may be regarded na the sent of the intelligence, as far as present knowledge goes. It is known that when the left cerebral Bemisphere is injured in childhood the right side appears to be capable of taking over the functions of speech, etc., which might otherwise be absent, so that it has been cus tomary to regard the right side of the brain as potentially as capable of activity in the intellectual pro- cesses as the left side, but only rarely called upon to develop them, except in left-handed people, where the right half of the brain is the dominant portion.
