In your opinion, what's the best book out there on brain function lateralization and the overall differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain? I'm looking for something that's based on verified fact, not speculation.

You should start with Michael Gazzaniga, a pioneer in split brain studies. See his essay at http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbooks/morris4/medialib/readings/split.html and see the reading he suggests. See, also http://neuropsychological.blogspot.com/2005/08/well-worth-reading-dr-michael.html and try to get the Nature paper cited. and http://www.psych.ucsb.edu/people/faculty/gazzaniga/publications/publications.php

Dunno. But the biggest brain difference goes from front to back, not right to left. -- Yes, we speak English!

Here is a source that also hyperlinks into Gazzaniga and others : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_brain
