Lateralization of hands

Lateralization of hands refers to the tendency for people to prefer using one hand more than the other, known as being right- or left-handed. This preference is linked to brain specialization, where certain functions are more dominant in one hemisphere of the brain. For example, most right-handed individuals have a dominant left brain hemisphere controlling their right hand. This specialization helps improve coordination and efficiency in performing tasks. Hand lateralization develops early in life and varies among individuals, but overall, it reflects how our brains organize and manage different functions.
